not an iphone, but still cool

Motorola MOTO Q music 9m, apparently it's brand new. They said I was the first one to buy one from that store. I have no idea how to use all the crap on it, it's gonna take awhile. Took me a solid 5 minutes to figure out how to make a call.
I wasn't even supposed to be able to upgrade to a new phone yet, but last time I was in there the manager said they'd transfer over my $100 (toward a new phone) credit from my canceled line to my current line. So I went in there yesterday, and he said he's stand by his word, even though he made a mistake, which just blew my mind. Rare these days.
So I got $100 off, $50 rebate, and additional $100 off for signing up for the data plan (which was required, but I can cancel it any time I want).
It's neat surfing the web from my phone, but nopistons won't let me log in from it. I like that it's upgradeable, with a big enough memory card I can watch movies and stuff. Documents on the go with Windows Mobile 6 software; excel, word, etc. (which I wanted).
Nice camera, and the unit has great finish and texture to it (that rubberized texture, won't slide around when you set it down).
I just need to figure out how to add stuff, like I can't watch vids off the web right now.

I see what you did there!
Really though, I usually like things simple. But I used to have a Palm Pilot (like 6 years ago) and really, it made my life so much easier. But I hated carrying it around along with my phone. Since my palm died, I've been wanting a phone/organizer type unit, but they've been too expensive until now.
I'm so damned forgetful that it's nice to have somewhere to keep my appointments and to-do list, along with playing music, and transfer MS Office files. In addition to making calls, of course.
I think the internet function is pretty dumb, which is why I'll be canceling it after this month.

LOL, I dunno why that made me chuckle.
Anyhow, my theory is if I can't remember to do it, or to be somewhere or someone's name then it obviously wasn't all that important to me in the first place.
Of course I don't even own a watch so what the **** do i know. i've had a hard time finding simple phones the last couple times I've bought them. After throwing 2 motorola's in the garbage I went back to nokia, we'll see how it holds up.
On a side note, don't ever even turn your phone on in the Bahamas. We got charged $6.75 for every call that went to voicemail, one min for the ring in 2.25, one for the transfer to a voicemail number in Florida 2.25 and one for the message 2.25 = $6.75 which was around $450 when we got the bill from cingular, att, whatever the **** they are this week.

If you're on the home screen and press one of the red buttons, it automatically does numbers. If you're somewhere where you can type (web function, text messaging, whatever) you have to hit a shift key to do numbers.
Not very difficult, once you figure out how to get back to the home screen every time (turns out there's a button for that).
