I am a Slave to Technological Fashion, but I Hardly Own Any Shoes

Blackberry Bold.

I couldn't help myself.
But it is replacing both my Motorola Razr phone and my Palm T|X.

And it's cool.

And, um.

Well, it's cool.

The data plan prices for my provider are identical.

I have heard from folks who have other companies that they do weird things, like considering email as text messages rather than data, etc.

I couldn't get the hang of the not-keyboard on the iPhone.

I am hating on the AT&T Navigator directions bitch, however. Poor routing, and she gives directions like momwolf ... "I'll let you know when to turn. No, no!! Turn here, turn here, right now!! No, now you have to turn around and go back and turn left!"

Anybody know if the Garman for Blackberry does any better?
