Today is the first day that I have tried to do a post with the new phone. It is quite different trying to use the tiny keyboard or the writing area to make the words. So far I would say the easiest is the keyboard with the stylus and the word prediction turned on.
Just got the Bible installed as well - even got some surfing done.
Well, should go and do some other stuff for awhile.

New Toy.....
The old Palm has finally bit the dust this past week. The right top corner has stopped working, and it is starting to drive me nuts, as what started as a small section gone has turned into a large 2cm by 3cm unusable corner.
So Friday I took the plunge into the market and am trying out a HTC Touch. It's on a Rogers $10 plan, and I still have a week to see if I like it. So far, I am liking most of what it can do - the calendars working OK, and I figured out the syncing part Sunday night. The only part I don't really like too much is that it uses Outlook to sync to. I've gotten so used to Palm's desktop and to Thunderbird that to use Outlook again seems weird.
I did briefly consider Blackberry as an option - except that the plans were not really good - most of the carriers out here wanted $30-45 a month for the data plans. The neat thing about the Touch is that it has Wi-Fi - I've already got it surfing at home and at the dance school Nathanael goes to, and today I got it linked to a Second Cup hot spot.
What gets me is that most of the software that I have on the Palm will not be usable on the Touch. oh well.....
