Well, I will be shutting down my business for awhile. My current main employer has decided to send me to Afghanistan for 6 months. I leave on the 29th of June and should be back by the 29th of December. It wasn't by choice. It was either go or sit in the unemployment line. Computer jobs in this part of the country are few and far between. Hell, jobs in general are hard to find.
I will be checking email, blog and FaceBook when I can. So if anyone has questions, I will try my best to answer them.
Since this blog is supposed to be about computers and technology, Let me fill everyone in on what I learned about global wireless phones...
While preparing to head over there. I did have an interesting time working with Verizon to get a global phone. I had the DROID, which I love. For a phone operating system, you cannot get any better. I searched for an Android global phone, but struck out finding one. So, Verizon only had 2 global phones. 1 was the Blackberry Storm and the other was the HTC Touch Pro 2. The Blackberry was in stock at every Verizon store I went to, but nobody had the HTC. I decided to get the Storm.. Let me say that I have no idea why anyone would want to use one of these antiques. The operating system just flat out sucks. It is completely un-customizable and all the software for it is proprietary and costs way to much.. Well, after 24 hours, I almost threw the Storm out the window...LOL.. After that, the wife said lets go get the phone you want... So I had to custom order the HTC Touch Pro 2.. It's a Windows Mobile Device with WM 6.5.. It's not bad, I had the phones predecessor.. But after having the DROID.. I'm wishing they made a global DROID... Well now that it's close for me to leave, A friend of mine discovered the Nexus One.. A GLOBAL DROID... UGHHHH.. Wish I knew that before... So, I'm stuck with a phone I can deal with, but don't really want..
What's the moral of the long winded story?
Your always happier when you slow down and wait for what you want..
So, I guess it really wasn't about global wireless phones.. It was more of a rant.. LOL
Have Great Day Everyone............................
