Upgrading your phone could change your life

Category // Web Design

Mobiles, for me, have always been nothing more than an irritating device that over the years has become essential to keep on you to serve no other purpose but sms and cell calls. To be very honest for a while I really wish I didn’t have one. Then one fine day, after being frustrated with my nokia obsolete phone held together with tape – literally, I decided it was time to get a contract. To be very honest the change in approach has been fueled by the interesting apps I heard about, so I asked people I knew what phone they used as well as some internet research and I settled for a black berry bold 9000 on a phone contract with unlimited internet.

The day I received this phone, I found myself going to bed with a couple of questions on my mind…

• Where have I been living,
• How did I ever survive without my berry
• And my life is never going to be the same

A device that was once a bother has now become the only tool that I use for facebook, twitter, email and now blogging. Who would have thought that the idea of using a laptop for everday online stuff now seems like such a bother. Sure my reliable old hp still has its use but I am finding myself moving more towards using my mobile for everything except design related stuff.

Interestingly enough I am actually spending more time reading up and catching up on stuff online. Being in front of myl laptop now is nothing more than when I need to design or really get into some work. One of the things that I’ve tried to adopt over the last year has been when friday comes, laptop goes off and I take time out. But that meant total xcut off from everything of meaning to me. Now with my BB I can cut off from work and still do everything I love online. All this excitement brings me to one question?
