New Toy

Last week I got the new Motorola Slvr. I have been shopping for a new phone for several weeks. I was going to go with the Motorola Rokr, but the salesman at Cingular told me that Motorola was coming out with a new phone and to wait. Then I thought about getting the pink Razr. But I really wanted an MP3 player as part of my phone. An MP3 player, I think is the only recent techo gadget that I have not gotten yet. Can I just say how much I like this phone? It is fun!!

This phone is a MP3 player and camera. Now I just bought a new digital camera in December (which I still love). You can text message on this phone and I discovered last week how to email to a cell! It has Bluetooth. I also have a PDA, it has Bluetooth. So I send information to myself from myself. So MANY gadgets!!!!

Now, with my new position, I got a text pager. So, I can get blast emails from my company when I am “in the field”. I have this running argument with my co worker about this pager situation. I understand why they have it. But it is just one more gadget for me. He cannot seem to understand why our company is so antiquated that we do not get a Blackberry, do away with the cell phone, laptop, pager and just have one thing. Well then the company would have to provide wireless access for us to get to use the Blackberry. You can send & receive emails on this pager without internet access. I am sure it is a cost issue, which his argument is that it would be a write off for the company. But it is all about the bottom line and multiplied out, that would be a big expense. When I worked for the previous bank, I complained about how technologically deficient they were too. I think this company is no worse than any other large corporation. How technologically savvy is your employer?
