Smarter Phone

So I recently got a smarter phone. It's a Samsung Fascinate. I chose it because it seemed decent enough and I could get it for free by renewing my current contract. So why not? I've been putting off getting a smart phone because I probably spend too much time online as it is. Though typically when I travel, I curse the world that I don't have one. I'm traveling next week (first San Diego, then the Great Utah National Park Tour of 2011*), and not bringing my laptop (shocker I know), and decided it was high time.

Besides the fact that I've just been needing** one for some time, I thought it would fun to be able to update my blog (and Facebook) with pictures from the road, since I won't have my laptop and will be away from civilization.*** And good to have access to email on the road. And, I'm sure, comforting for you all to know that I'm not stuck in Blue John Canyon preparing to cut off my own arm.****
