When I left that world and started by own business, I got my own Blackberry. I could have my schedule, my contacts, my email, and the web (sort of) right there on my phone. My last Blackberry was a Bold on AT&T. I love that smartphone.

In an effort to improve my coverage when travelling the country, I decided to get a Verizon phone too so if if I’m someplace where I can’t connect to Verizon, maybe I can connect to AT&T. In order to make this more palatable financially, I dumbed down my smartphone. I picked up a Samsung basic phone for AT&T and an LG enV3 for text messaging and photos.

The enV3 was no replacement for a Blackberry. It was too dumb a dumb phone for me. So, I bought a Droid.

I. love. my. Droid.

The GPS so I can have location-aware applications, the built in Google everything, the 5MP camera with flash and zoom, the available applications – both free and paid. For what I’m doing and where I’m going, it’s the smartphone for me.
