New Cell Phone

My new work cell phone arrived last week. Just in time, too, because my old one wouldn't charge from the USB connection. I had to remove the battery to charge. I could power it via USB, but the battery wouldn't charge.

The new phone is a Blackberry 8830. It does the standard PDA job well enough. I even get notified of email on this before I see it in Outlook. Unfortunately, they took the USB cable because they don't want ne syncing this to my computer directly. I like the over the air sync, but I would still like to use the phone as a modem, which requires the cable. I turned in my old cable with my old phone, and the spare that I had broke, so it will probably be a while before I test it.

Of course, I am already doing something I had not done with the old one, and that is posting to Blogger.
