But you see, all those feelings were before. Before I decided to give it a shot. Before I caved.
How did I cave? might you ask. I honestly don't think I really have an answer for that one. I had a Blackberry forrrreverrrrrr, and I really loved it. I loved how easy it was to type. But there were definitely other things I didn't go for, too. The apps were not up to par. The phone would freeze more often than not. And it just wasn't as "with the times" as the iPhone was. Tough competition. So, my Blackberry had been acting up, and I decided enough was enough. I NEEDED a new phone. At that point, I didn't really have it in my mind that I would get an iPhone. But when I got to the store and saw the pretty little iPhone glowing on its own little shelf, I couldn't help but say to myself, I think it's time to try this bad boy out.
And honestly? I hate to admit that I'm pretty pleased so far. It's different than the Droid I had, and I don't know if it's just a mental thing (probs), but typing really isn't as bad as I've always thought. It is weird, though, because I've tried countless times on my friends' or hubby's phones to type and send messages, and I could barely ever make it through one without wanting to scream. Maybe it's different because it's my phone now. That's what I tell myself, anyway. This phone called to me, and now we have a mutual understanding- it'll text and get done what needs to be done if I have a little patience. And it's working for us.
Telling my friends and hubs about it was a different story. I've spent years teasing everyone close to me and INSISTING backwards and forwards that no one would ever see me with an iPhone. So you can imagine the jokes I was in for when I texted people and/or showed them my new toy. Served me right, though. Never say never. ;)
One of the nicer parts of a convo w/ a friend :) |
