Random things, thoughts, and stuff.
A couple years back, i had a Palm Treo 600 through T-Mobile that I used as my "california" phone (it was a $9.99/month addition to my biological Mom's plan, and had a california number). At some point, while I was working for ups (and relying on it alot for mapquest mobile) the dog (Penny, our chocolate lab/linebacker mix) chewed it. Mostly it looked like she did only cosmetic damage (screen was fine) but the phone became VERY flakely and unreliable after that...
So I did the insurance replacement thing... Problem is, T-Mobile no longer did Palm Tre0's . So I got a T-Mobile SDA (or SDA Music Phone for those with european T-Mobile, or HTC Typhoon for those geeks like me). It was a nice phone. A WM5 Smartphone, no touch screen. but it was a small high resolution screen so watching videos was awesome.
When I cancelled my addition to my mom's plan, and we upgraded our NJ Cingular plan, I moved to a ATT 8125, or HTC Wizard... When I did that, I unlocked the SDA, and gave it to Kim to use instead of her Nokia 6800 I think it was...
Now, since that 8125, I've had a 8525 (2 in fact) (8125 screen broke. I gave it to a friend whom fixed it and uses it now.... The first 8525 broke [power button issues] and got a warranty replacement) and I now have an AT&T Tilt or HTC TyTn II (US/ATT edition without the 2nd camera :( )
The point of all this is... hat since Kim passed, I have been using the SDA phone for myself more often than my really neat phone with GPS and Full Keyboard and whatnot...
I just upgraded the SDA to WM6.1 in fact, and even ported Kim's custom theme over...
I keep customizing the phone for me but making sre that it's still KIM's phone...
Is that weird?
Surprisingly I've made it through this whole post, thinking of Kim fondly and haven't yet shed a single tear... But now that I said that my body is going to try and make me a liar...
