Upgrading

So I finally bit the bullet and stepped up to join the rest of the modern world. I upgraded to a smart phone.

I chose a Droid 3, since it was under $200, had a keyboard, and simply because I'm partial to the word "droid".  Though I'm fascinated about how this device lets me use the internet anywhere I want, part of me is a little sad.

My first phone, a simple silver flip phone, had a nice collection of phone charms (netsuke).

Kerons, Sasuke from Naruto, a fairy, a penguin, and a pair of broken jade flip flops.

My second phone (the Samsung Juke I'm now abandoning *sniff sniff*) had another respectable collection of netsuke.

Franz Ferdinand screen cleaner, Kerero, Kon from Bleach, an orange from Code Geass, a bracelet from a friend, Vivi  from FF, and more penguins.

There is no strap holder on the Droid phone.  Where will I put all the phone charms?!  Perhaps I could get a case with holes and attach charms to the case?

Anyway, now that I have upgraded, I'm going to make a not-quite-new year's resolution: I will use my mobile connection to be a better friend.  I will try to remember birthdays, comment on blogs more frequently, and respond faster. I will likely also need glasses from 24/7 screen time. Huuu.

Anyone else still living on voice plan only?  It wasn't so bad (Sak's still data-free), but I'm definitely seeing the appeal of a smartphone!  A good trade off for realizing one can no longer round their age down to 20.
