i'm a proud new owner of...

a blackberry pearl!
Ok, so I know what you are saying...Cassidy, that is an awfully expensive phone, do you really need all that? My reply - Don't you know I am the queen of deals?!
Yes, it's true, I found quite a deal. Since Justin and I are moving to Maysville we had to change our service (no sprint there). Now I know when you switch over you can get free phones from certain places...well, not usually this one. I encourage you (if you switch) to look into amazon.com or buy.com (I used buy.com) to find some deals. Not only did I find Justin a free Razor, but I got my phone for free too (yes, it is a $300 phone). Actually with the rebates, we are even getting 2 cents back!

Not only am I so excited about the deal, I love this phone! I have been playing with it constantly (well, trying to learn it...it is quite the step up from what I had :) I haven't been disappointed yet, seriously, call quality is great, service hasn't let me down yet, the battery is great, both the camera & music player are awesome, storage is wonderful (I can sync it up with my address book on my computer). Also, the fact that I can be driving along the road and get email is amazing! I wasn't sure how I would feel about that feature, but it is so great! My brother-in-law and I have been emailing back and forth all day (he's at Bristol and I was in the car on the way to town!) Heck, I even checked my blog online too! Oh, and the trackball pearl in the middle is the perfect addition!

I am so happy with it so far, can't wait to find out more about it! Even though I hate phone cases I had to break down and get one...I am too afraid of scratching it. So I found a $20 case online, then found it on amazon for $0.90, so hopefully it wont be too obtrusive.

*And no dad, there aren't too many buttons for a phone! ;)
