My family all went and got new phones this week as it was time for a new contract with AT&T.  As usual when we re-up, we got better rates.  I really wanted an iPhone 4 to complement my iPad, but just couldn’t justify the expense.  I got the free phone– A Samsung.  It’s the first phone I’ve had with a full keyboard.  I’ve done more texting in the last 24 hours than I have done in my entire life up till this point.  I think the Amatharians would approve, as they don’t like listening to disembodied voices, but they do write letters.
