Droiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid

I absolutely love hearing that whenever I get a text - which isn't all that often since only three people have my new number. Yes, I got a new phone and number as well. No, I couldn't wait another month. I will, however, be keeping my old phone and number combo until a certain mess is resolved - which will be around the first of July now, probably hopefully. Anyway, I still need to manually transfer contacts from my old phone (an incredibly boring task, honestly) and update people with the new number (or not, depending on who these contacts are and if I even bother transferring the information). I honestly don't even know my number yet. It's a weird, random assortment of digits.

I have a DROID RAZR MAXX. I should mention that I downloaded the blogger app for it and am actually using it to author this post at the moment. The phone put its name in all caps - I didn't do that. I'm not sure how I feel about predictive text, but I know how I feel about it choosing all caps on its own. Still, minus the ego, this phone is a massive upgrade. It's not the DROID4 (there it goes with the caps again) I wanted, but the battery life on that phone was depressing. It wasn't nearly as depressing as the battery life on my old phone, which was only a few hours between charges, but it wasn't long enough to last through an eight hour work day. Shame, since it features the slide out physical five row qwerty keyboard I still find myself pining for as I try to become accustomed to the touch screen virtual keyboard. Even with predictive text, I am constantly backspacing because my enormous fingers will tap the letters adjacent to the one I meant to tap. But, I think I made the right choice in regards to battery life because after ten hours off the charger I still had 80% charge. That's freaking amazing.

Also, the cameras are amazing. I haven't actually taken any pictures yet but I was playing around with the front and rear facing cameras. The photos I will definitely be taking a lot more of will be incredible. Seriously, hi def photos are forthcoming.

Anyway, I realize an entire post about my awesome new phone is not terribly intriguing or tactful, but I really do love my new phone and I wanted to test the blogger app for it that I will definitely be utilizing frequently. It's much easier than posting via email via phone and my DROID (and/or this app) has spell check which is critical as I learn to use my virtual keyboard with its tiny, sensitive keys.
