My Geeky Heart has been Swept off it's feet.

By whom you ask.... the question is better stated... by what.

(I know, I know, sad... very sad....)

The New Blackberry .... Or should I call it by it's right name... The Crackberry.

I suppose, I start out like most would... with a cell phone. The cell phone is just the first step. I try to convince myself that I don't need the crackberry. I try to convince myself that I can't afford the crackberry... but as you know, it's not about affording... it's about want.

So, today I gave myself a little wake up call and I went to the verizon website and priced out my dream phone with my dream package... and (are you sitting down) my phone was a mere one time purchase price of $199.99 (which for a one time price isn't too shabby) AND it's red!
Then I saw that the "unlimited" plan was "only" $99.00 a month. (of course, that's the same amount I pay for Phone/Internet/TV... but wait... there's more.

Then I added on another $20.00 a month for 5000 messages, I'm not clear if that's email or text, but you know... it's better safe than sorry. AND it's only $20.00 extra a month

Then I added the $5.99/month for the TOTAL EQUIPMENT INSURANCE, because if I'm going to get the phone, I'm going to want to keep it and use it and it might get dropped or stolen... or something.

Then I added email and web for blackberry... for another $29.99... but then I remembered that I already selected the "unlimited plan" for $99.00 a month... Well I checked the $29.99 and made a mental note to find out what the "unlimited" included, if it didn't include internet and email.

Then I added VZ Navigator for $9.99 a month (which serves 2 purposes, #1) gps tracking for me #2) GPS tracking for the government if they should choose to find me... ha ha ha ha did you read my www.getmyo.com blog yesterday?)

So, let's see... almost done with my dream package.

Ah yes.... $3.00 a month for road side assistance. I just read up on it and it includes towing up to the first 10 miles and at $3.00 a month it's cheaper than AAA.

Now let's see the total
$167.97 a month hhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I'm not quite there yet.

So, you know me. How could I possibly justify that expense... Hmmmmmmm Perhaps if I got a job that was directly related to my new blackberry? Perhaps if i became a Blackberry Expert? How can I become a Crackberry Expert without owning one... You see my dilmema? It's a vicious circle.

SIGH......

Perhaps I can market myself to Blackberry as the face of the new/old generation. Perhaps they will hire me to write reviews on their latest product from my perspective...

I LOVE THAT THING... sigh... OK OK, I'll get over it.

Anyway... Today is Wednesday, which is actually my Friday... because tomorrow and the next day I will be working from home in between swim lessons for the kids and walking the dog. Feel free to email or comment... as I am always looking ways to avoid what I'm supposed to be doing.

Have a great day!
