So . . . yesterday was an interesting day. After church (while Julie was playing with her visiting teachers), I was looking online at new cell phones. I have decided I want a new phone - and I want a snazzy smartphone. After see how much AT&T charges for data plans (per phone line) -- not to mention they now FORCE anyone with a smartphone to get a data plan (stupid AT&T), I found that for less money I can get more stuff through Sprint. (Sidebar -- if you are a Sprint hater, or avid AT&T lover, or have some odd undying love for any phone carrier . . . I don't care. Let's be honest, all of the major companies have HUGE downsides between customer service, cost, coverage, etc. I'll miss my rollover, but it's just too much to add data for our current family plan). Anyhoo . . . how this relates to yesterday. As I was saying, I was looking at phones to decide what I wanted. While doing this, I noticed I was "missing" parts of the text and realized this as a vision problem I get just prior to a migraine. So, I laid down for a while and let my eyes rest. I felt a little better, so we went down to "the Fork" to visit our families. The migraine returned with a vengeance during our trip down - but luckily Julie had some ibuprofen and migraine meds that I was able to take and then lay down for a while.
Ok, so how this relates to the title of this article is coming up. When I went to bed I took some Excedrin PM to make sure I could sleep and kill what little headache remained. Well, I fell asleep well, and then POW - midnight comes and I'm wide awake. Still exhausted, but wide awake. The really fun part was that just as I would start falling asleep again, my mind would turn into hyperdrive trying to figure out the cell phone dilemma. Yes, for some reason my sub-conscious decided midnight was THE time for a final answer. Each time I'd get it to shut up and start falling asleep again . . . CELL PHONES. WHAT . . . . THE . . . . CRAP!?!?! It's not like I was having to make an immediate decision -- or even a decision within a month. But, for some reason my mind really wanted to know what phone I'm buying. Damn brain.
(Sidenote, Julie just IM'ed me to say Gary Busey just knocked up his girlfriend and "shouldn't be allowed to reproduce." For those of you who might remember Gary Busey from "Celebrity Rehab," I would have to agree -- and wonder the mental facilities of a woman who is dating him.)
So, to make my mind SOMEWHAT at ease, I'm going to enlist all 3 of my readers to help me decide what phone to buy. Here's the requirements - smartphone, touchscreen, and Sprint. I'll give you my top choices so far to chose from, but if you feel I missed a winner, let me know (and yes, if Sprint offered the iPhone there would be no contest (but, again, I just can't swallow how much AT&T charges for data plans). HTC HERO - SAMSUNG MOMENT - PALM PRE

I don't like the palm pre's set up in a lot of ways. and the keyboard bites.
The Hero's cool, but I'm not a fan of on-screen keyboards. The samsung was cool.
What's a data plan?
Data plan, as in how much the cell phone company charges you for data services (web browsing, email, etc).
Tyler says that he would probably go with the first one, the pre he doesn't like the key board issue. He likes that android operating system. good luck! :)
