Commercial: Tweeting and a new phone!





So I finally got on Twitter because I wanted to enter a Tokidoki contest, and now I'm completely addicted! To top it off, it also finally got me to go to the Verizon store and complain about my darned Blackberry Curve 8330.

I really wanted to get my Tweets on time and not have applications freeze up on me, but also, it would be nice if I could play audio and watch YouTube videos on my smart phone. After all, I paid good money for it right?  So I finally go in and they say that since I've got my insurance and I've never exchanged it before, they can send me a new one (or maybe refurbished, who knows) for free. When I receive the new one, I'm supposed to take it into the store so they can transfer the information over and then I can send my old one back.

This is good news because while I was at the store for 30 minutes waiting my turn, I noticed that the 8330 they had as a demo had a different *better* looking operating system than mine. Then I remembered that my buddy Trey at work tried to update my OS twice and both times it failed due to some unknown error. So now the new phone will have the updated OS at least, which will somewhat satisfy my itch for a new phone. AND I still get to upgrade mid next year, just as my normal upgrade schedule says.

Cliff notes: Twitter good. Old blackberry curve 8330 bad. New replacement phone good. Verizon + iPhone in the new future = SUPER GOOD. Please let it happen soon!
