At the bottom of the sea...
It’s a bit odd, and probably terribly nerdy. I very much like my SLVR L7 phone, and I adore the amount of MP3’s I can put on it. I really like that it has a speaker built into it, and a solid enough one that I can put it in my pocket and listen to music without headphones on.
I like the camera it comes with, the fact that it comes with a video camera, with blue tooth, all that.
…but here’s the nerdy bit. The thing that actually gets me excited about my phone? It’s that I can plug it into my computer, a window pops up, I can drag my “Working Drafts” folder full of stories/novels I’m working on right now onto my phone, and then carry them with me.
(Granted, I usually carry them no farther than the laptop.)
The technology geek in me is overruled by the writer geek. Go figure.

My SO feels the same way about his phone - he's all giddy about how it hooks up to his computer. I don't understand it at all. I just want something that can call people and that people can call me on. No silly ringtones, no weird video cameras taking pictures of the inside of my purse and running down the battery...*sigh*
And now everyone is running around with these earpieces looking like cyborgs. Gah!!!
I'm starting to feel very curmudgeonly.
I dislike the earpieces. I've read too much sci-fi to see that as being anything but a bad idea. Especially after reading Cell.
Oddly enough, the last thing in the world I want to use my phone for is calling someone. I told my wife it would've been cheaper if we'd just bought nice CreativeLabs MP3 players, and skipped the monthly contract, since that's what I use it for anyway....
Yeah yeah, brag about your technology. :P
