Blackberry Curve Titanium on its way

I know what your thinking. Kyle… why the hell are you buying a new phone when you’ve just lost your job. Well, if I didn’t have to, I wouldn’t. But I don’t actually own a cell phone, nor have I had to pay for service for quite some time. EDC owns the phone, and paid for the service and along with my termination, comes the termination of my benefits.

So why a blackberry curve? Quite simply because it was the cheapest phone I could get that would still allow me to send/receive email and do the general PDA functions that I’ve found are invaluable when your out on the road with different clients all day.

I should be getting the phone hopefully by the end of the week. I’ll have a new phone number, as it was the only way to get a free phone with a new plan. When I get the number I’ll let everybody know. If I miss you, just post a reply and I’ll give you a call/email.

“Reading” via Cell Phone

I’ve been a member of Audible for a while, and used it on my computer and MP3 player for a while. But more recently I’ve started using their Mobile version on my cell phone, and its a match made in heaven.

I can download books from my library directly (no needing to remember to get all the pieces of a book before I leave the house). And the application remembers my last position even between restarts of the phone. My only complaint has to do with my phone (Samsung Blackjack), not with the application. In order to listen to the books with headphones, I’ll have to buy an adapter.

Using AudiblePlayer on the phone though, I’ve re-”read” through the Wheel of Time series (currently 3/4 of the way through Book 4). The plan is to re-”read” up to book 6, and continue the series on book 7 since I have them now. The stories have been good companions through out the process of building Evincere and some other sites.
