The iPhone Killer

~Per request of our good friends, I have decided to finally update our blog and hope to continue with more frequent posts. I admit that to the discovery that I am not a blogger at heart and so I thank Col and Aubrey for both insisting that we stop neglecting our poor blog~

As I sit here typing away on our Mac, a small part of me feels like a traitor upon reflection of our most recent and exciting purchase: the Samsung Instinct. From the time that even the concept of the iPhone was first announced in '06, Steven has been dreaming of the day he could own one. And dreaming is no exageration. Many mornings Steven has ignored his alarm so that his dream involving the iPhone could continue. Me being the frugal wife that I am, could not justify the phone, nor AT&T's expensive monthly charges.
So two weeks ago we found ourselves at the Sprint store allured by the new Instict, all of its competative features, and of course its great price. Thus, like the typical consumer who is won over by a good bargain, we both purchased our own iPhone Killer.
It has been a fun purchase for us because of all the great features like the fun-to-play-with touchscreen, GPS, email, visual voicemail, and internet. With Sprint's plan we now are getting a lot more for our money than with our old plan. The Instinct is also a good PHONE with quality sound and reception. (Its comical that I am listing the phone feature last on my list.)
Our complaints have been that it is not compatible with Apple, which means we cannot sync the phone to the computer and itunes-purchased music cannot be loaded on to it. (But I guess that is what we get for being traitors of Apple) However, the phone uses a micro SD card to store movies, pics, and music, and that is of course user friendly. All in all we are enjoying our new toys...I mean phones.
