Bored at O'Hare
I bought a new cell phone the other day, through amazon, a Sony-Ericsson T610. I didn't really need a new phone, per se, but they have these ridiculous rebate offers sometimes. After all the rebates this new phone will end up costing -$100. Yup, I'm getting money for 'buying' a new phone. Silly, huh?
Since I'm getting a new phone, I figured it'd be a good time to switch providers too. I haven't been really impressed by Cingular, and T-Mobile has a good reputation and good data plans. I'm also going to be switching over my old cingular phone number so no one has to learn a new number.
The cool thing about this phone and T-Mobile's data plan is how easy I can go online via bluetooth. I'm writing this from the American Airlines terminal at O'Hare using my phone's GPRS connection. It's actually not bad at all. The speed is okay for light surfing and email. I found the instuctions to get it set up here.
The phone also has other neat features, like a camera, etc. But I just dig that I can get online from anywhere. Nifty.
