New Phone

For years (well, two years and eight months) my Sony Ericsson dutifully served my various cell phone needs. The sturdy phone fell from great heights to the stage deck below on many occassions. A more girly cell phone may not have survived such death defying feats. On a regular basis the phone was subject to use (and sometimes abuse) by the younger folk. And yes, this beloved phone even recovered from a near drowning by Coca-Cola. Yikes!

Can you tell I have a slight bit of love for this phone? It's true; I do. Or, more accurately I did.

Last Friday evening moments before the start of a symphony concert my beloved cell phone went to sleep and was never to wake up again.

Pause for a moment of silence.

Now it is true, I had been cautioned by dear friends that my Sony Ericsson phone was probably entering it's final days and that I should take the time to transfer all of the data to a safe place (especially the valuable private cell phone numbers of many guest artists). Did I listen? No. To those of you who warned of this tragic event, I was wrong and you were right.

Needless to say, I depend heavily on my cell phone and need rapid access to a wide array of numbers. With my recent cell phone purchase I decided an upgrade was in order - the purchase of my first SmartPhone was in order. I picked up a new Palm Centro on Saturday morning and might I just say ----I love it. :) And for those of you who worry that I might lose valuable phone numbers again, have no fear - the PalmCentro is synchronized with my laptop and Outlook Contacts on a daily basis.

On another note, yes I know I have been away from my blog for awhile. My sincere apologies. Stop by and watch for a few new blogs as I attempt to catch up in the coming days.
