Today I bit the bullet, so to speak, and bought a new phone. My old one was on its last leg.  After numerous drops into toilets and on the ground, it finally was starting to rebel. In fact, now when I turn it on, it has these squiggly lines going through the center of the display making it near impossible to read the numbers.

     Palm has come out with a new phone called Centro. Pretty cool. It has a touch screen just like my Palm so I didn’t have to learn a lot of new software.  That in itself is a real time saver.  It’s easy to use. Easy to read the display and has more features that I think I may every use – at least today.  It has email, internet. Bluetooth, calendar, and it all syncs to my laptop, which is even better. In fact, my Palm can sync to my phone as well as my laptop. That is just way too cool.  In fact, my 4G memory card allows me to store 1000 songs or 9600 images or 1280 minutes of video AND it all can be downloaded to my laptop.  Of course, if I’m going to have all this new technology, I might as well go all the way and get a Bluetooth headset. Again, new technology. It is so small and unobtrusive, you can hardly feel it in your ear. Plus now my phone can use the Bluetooth in the car, too. And it can beam and print.  In fact, with all the rebates from Sprint, this phone was actually affordable.

     Welcome to the 21^st century. Embrace it. It’s not going away!
