Friends,
Verizon Wireless has a real neat deal. It’s called “New Every Two” and the idea is that after 20 months or so, you’ll find that your current cell phone is broken or just sucks. No worries! Just wait a few more months and we’ll give you a credit on a new one. Neat. I picked up a new Motorola MOTOSRSLY bR549 (or whatever) camera phone over the web for free (some restrictions apply, buh).
Speaking of restrictions, even Motorola acknowledges that Verizon imposes a ton of restrictions on “multimedia and data transfers” from the phone. So much so that without special hackerific software, the only way to get pictures and video off the thing without emailing the files to yourself (certain extra charges may apply), you have to buy a memory card and move the files there.
Ever seen a MicroSD card? It’s just a little smaller than your pinkie fingernail. How hard is it to keep track of? Don’t exhale, it’ll fly behind the furniture. Don’t ask how I know.
By the way, it’s been stormy in my little burg. I got the clue this afternoon by looking up…
…and when I got home, I was greeted by this very unhappy pup…
Seriously, it’s not my fault.
