Is it time to make a switch?
They don’t call me The Cell Phone Junkie because I’m rational, that is for sure!
After 18 months with Verizon, I’m contemplating the switch over to AT&T. The great thing about Verizon has always been the coverage, but the lack of innovative handsets is really starting to grate on me. I am itching or something new and I really want it to have the functionality that includes Slingbox, Skype and 3G. I have been looking at the number of choices in the AT&T smartphone lineup, and it’s very impressive. The Tilt looks to be the most robust device that they have, and I am very intrigued. The iPhone will always capture my curiosity, but until we get to a point where they Apple allows 3rd party apps like these, I think I’ll hold out.
So…any comments fr someone thinking of moving from Verizon to AT&T? The funny thing is that I made the move from Cingular to Verizon and paid the ETF to do so. Now I’m looking to make the move back, paying another ETF to do so. Like I said, rationality when it comes to cell phones doesn’t really seem to my thing.
2007 Honda Ridgeline
The past few weeks have been pretty hectic around the Papillon residence. One of the things that happened was a new vehicle was purchased. Courtney has recently changed jobs and her company car had to go back. Because of this, we had the opportunity to look for something that would fill a need that we have of being able to haul things to and from home. We recently purchased our first home, so the need has been elevated from what was once just wanting a truck.
After looking around at all the different options, we settled on the Honda Ridgeline. I test drove one 2 weeks ago and had a great time driving it. The best thing that I liked was it kept the same creature comforts like leather and power everything that my Acura had, while adding in the versatility of a full size cab with truck bed. I know a lot of people out there have been skeptical about this truck because it is Honda’s first, but my questions have been answered, this thing is great!
I Haven’t had time to take any photos of it yet, but once I get the chance to get outside during daylight hours, I will make an effort to do so. In the meantime, you can always go Here.
