I love gadgets. Unfortunately, gadgets don't love me. They cower and break in my presence and tend to not last much longer than their original manufacturer's warranty. Hence, my tendency to purchase extended warranties despite knowing that they're all a big sham. But you know why I buy them? Because I'm the guy that has to use them.

Well, all in all I'm a happy camper. My new Treo 680 (in the copper color which looks nothing like the second phone from the left does in this photo) is a peach. It uses the Cingular EDGE network for pretty snappy internet browsing, it's light, has an MP3 player, a gorgeous screen and ton of other features I won't mention here. I'm excited about being able to update midweekpost from the road and I'm even more stoked I'll have have something to do while I'm waiting for the damn E Train to clamor into the subway station.

Oh... and I bet you were thinking... "I thought Eric would surely get the iPhone". The best part of all this is that I got an unlocked phone (hence the ability to get a color) so no contracts for this beast. Upgrades at my very whim.
