this weekend, alex and i made the switch to our own family phone plan, and with that, we were able to get a good deal on new phones! we were excited to shop because we had decided to make the switch to Andriod smart phones and say a fond farewell to our old faithful "messaging only" phones.
we both ended up going with the new Samsung Facinate, which just came out for Verizon a few days ago (we felt so trendy, haha). i've got to say, i love it. seriously love it. it's touch screen only, no keyboard, and the screen is super responsive and easy to use. it's also got the biggest battery of any android phone, so in theory it's supposed to last the longest (so far, i've been impressed - 36 hours and i still have half a charge left).
but, what i'm MOST excited about is i finally have access to the games that previously i could only play on my dad's iphone, like Jewels (similar to Snood) and Paper Toss (requires you to flick crumbled paper into a waste basket, paying attention to the wind speed of the nearby fan). after all, that's what phones are for right? no? well anyway, it's fun and mindless and keeps me from doing what i should be doing like reading...oh wait...haha.
anyways, if any of your are considering a phone upgrade, the Facinate has my vote!

sweet! and paper toss is a fantastic game. so simple, so fun!
I'm partial to Unblock Me and Angry Birds in case you get bored and want a new game to keep you occupied :)
How fun - I would love a phone like that someday!
sounds fun! still haven't brought myself to justify the extra cost since I can't use it most of the day, but there are definitely times i wish i had email access when I'm out and about!
i love some paper toss when dave shares his ipod touch with me :) its always those simple games that are most addicting!
