stormdogDog is not too bright sometimes.
I looked again at phones and decided I'd go with a Blackberry after all. That way I'd have included GPS support. I went through the ordering process. Then I poked around more online and realized that a number of things on a Blackberry won't work without the Blackberry data plan, which would cost more. I knew there was a reason I disliked those things. They're one of my least favorite things to deal with at work too.
So I called up Sprint and found that, even though I'd made the order about fifteen minutes ago, it already went to the warehouse. So they're going to ship the phone and a return kit. Once the return kit gets to me, I use it to ship the Blackberry back and they are supposed to credit my account and reinstate my upgrade discount eligibility. It ought to all be here by Monday.
Well, I'm not in a huge hurry; I can wait for it to get here, get back, and get credited before I pick another phone out.
I'm about done getting stuff together, so I think I'm going to go to bed. Before I do, here's a picture of Coney Island's Wonder Wheel.
The Famous Coney Island Wonder Wheel
Built in 1920 and standing a hundred and fifty feet tall, this is one of the older and larger Ferris wheels out there. It's also unusual in that some of it's cars are on tracks within in the wheel itself and will slide back and forth as the wheel makes its revolutions.
