gettin all tech on yo' ass

got a new phone last week, one blackberry pearl II, red.

i will offer a photo review of my new phone below.
















































so anyway, i'm officially a crackberry addict. email, IM, web access, and twenty different ways to use the embedded GPS receiver. i type even faster on this hybrid keyboard than i did on the full QWERTY on my Q9. they have some totally ridiculous applications for this phone, too. i can blog from the phone, upload phontos and videos to facebook or whatever. it's fun.

but since i am also a linux nerd, this has created some heartache. in regards to linux support for blackberry, Research In Motion has basically offered a debian install package that, upon install, displays a picture of the entire blackberry staff banging your mother while giving you the finger.

as a result i've had to reformat my hard drive, resize the big partition to put a tiny windows install on 5 gigs of the computer. while i was there i reinstalled on the big partition, finally trying something beside ubuntu, i intstalled a flavor of ubuntu, gOS.

and it rocks. it has all the google apps inbedded, along with google's mac dock ripoff all bouncy at the bottom. i tried fedora for a minute. it sucks. deal with it.

- ERROR -
Your known crackberry virus has caused a relational security breach creating a severe system dysfunction limiting the capacity of your live.girlfriend application to maintain interaction with the client without immediate partition of the conflicting attention-consuming devices. Future implications of this viral exploitation include general dissatisfaction with the live.girlfriend application. See manufacturer's mom for further details.

Haha. I like her. She should make fun of you more often.


Also, my Motorola Q kind of sucks. I mean, it does everything, just really slowly and with great inconvenience. About the only thing it has done quickly and efficiently is ruin me for regular cellphone keypads for life. I need letters! LETTERS!
