Nothing poker specific today. I took "yesterday" off after the late night bender. Still paying the price for that. I really need a couch in my office so that I can nap on days like today.
Anyhow, I decided the other day that I'm ready to advance out of the stone ages and upgrade to a smart phone. I have an old unsmart Motorola RAZR that's getting up there in age. It still works OK other than the battery not holding much of a charge.
After getting some recommendations (thanks BG, gadzooks, luckbox et al) I'm leaning toward the HTC Droid Incredible on Verizon. I currently have AT&T and have no complaints except for one big one - they have a large dead zone right where I do a large amount of my out-of-office work. Zero bars. I'm not the only AT&T customer who experiences it and there's no reason to expect it'll change any time soon. It appears that VZW and Sprint both have good reception.
I'm not eager to sign up for another contract (after being without one for quite a while) but I guess I can. It looks like I can get a deal on the Incredible if I shop around - minimizing that upfront outlay is a plus.
I considered the Evo on Sprint or possibly waiting to see what would happen with VZW's 4G service but after thinking about it - why? No carrier is going to have 4G where I live for at least two years and probably longer. It'll probably be a while after that before it makes sense to upgrade to a 4G phone. So really there's no reason to dawdle. Except that I've read that VZW will be going to tiered data plan pricing next week. It's always something.
Anyway, that will probably be the non-poker fun time task of the week. Looking forward to it.
Edit: I'll have to look at the Samsung Fascinate too. Time to go to Best Buy andfondle examine the options.
