Something Shiny

Alright, had it for less than a day, and already I’m hooked on my new (to me) Blackberry Curve. They really ought to market themselves better to the non-business crowd.

So far my favorite thing about it (other than it does everything it’s supposed to really well as opposed to pretty poorly, that’s right, I’m talking about you WinMo), is the Slacker app. It lets you cache stations on your memory card so in areas of poor service (like my house) you can still listen. And even if you are in an area of decent service, listening to cached stations requires less juice than listening over the air (listening to over the air streaming is fully supported too though so you don’t have to cache anything).

Eventually my love will undoubtedly turn into bitter hatred, but we’ll get to that later.
