silly phones

topazThanks for all the feedback on phones. After playing around with the store models enough to make the Verizon employees wince every time I walked in, I settled on the LG VX7000. It's a flip-top (which appeals to me for strange and nameless reasons) has a pretty decent camera, and is supposedly supported by BitPim, which should allow me to download pictures and configure the phone with wallpaper and ringtones without paying Veri$on more pointless access fees. I have 15 days to decide whether to return it, so I'm playing the hell out of it for now.
Tim playing around with his new toy at work:
Jeez. I'm getting old.
Pro: it has more address book categories than the old phone, and lets you create new categories.
Con: it only allows you to put 10 people in any single category. What kind of bizarre decision was that?

(I don't know that I have STTOS effects online anywhere any more. I'll check when I'm back in the home-office, where the Mac's old enough it might still have them on it.)
