i am so in love with my new cell phone.
i still haven't had a lot of time to devote to exploring all of its features (also, the manual is totally crappy), but i have now figured out how to take a photo and email it, and even get it posted on flickr. (i haven't yet figured out how to get those photos posted to this blog like lisa does, though... she's got the totally cool setup.)
my phone has bluetooth capabilities, so i bought a little bluetooth adapter for my ibook and spent an hour or so last night fiddling with that. the adapter allows me to essentially treat my phone as a wirelessly networked drive... i can sync my contact lists and datebook with the phone, as well as transfer photos and mp3s to (and from) it.
the phone also plays mp3s as its ringtones, so last night i transferred a snippet of the propellorheads' "velvet pants" to the phone. now when i get a call i hear "he's got a nice body... he's wearing velvet pants." ray cringed when he heard it, but i love it! i want to eventually have a talking heads song as my ringtone, but it's gonna be hell deciding on which one to use.
one other bluetooth feature i haven't yet had the time to play with is answering cell phone calls through my computer. i don't know why exactly i would ever want to do this, but it sounds like a cool thing to do.
oh, and bluetooth will also allow me to use my cell phone as a modem for the ibook, which could be handy were i ever roadtripping to roswell or something. i suppose i should figure out how to do that next.
