New Phone Happiness

I finally gave up on Verizon Wireless.

Last Friday I made the switch to a contract free plan with Virgin Mobile.

So far so good.

Unlike the US Govt, I've found ways to cut corners.

I've got a new smartphone, a Samsung Reverb and a plan that is saving me 18.00 a month over what I was currently paying with Verizon Wireless. If I had upgraded with them, my contract probably would have cost me another $30.00 on top of what I was paying them.

So far the phone is well behaved, but I don't trust smartphones much. They are truly evil. However, I do get a lot of enjoyment out of it, and the app for Goodreads works on this phone.

That is a plus.

Let me tell you about the Goodreads app.

If you use the site to track your reading etc, this is the greatest thing.

Why?

It has a barcode scanner.

Scan the code and it adds the books to your to be read shelf etc.

Now when I go to the book store and want to remember titles for purchase later, all I have to do is scan them!

Woot!

Its the little joys in life that matter, right?

Oh and the camera kicks butt too.
