So cute!!!

On the phone thing....yes it does depend on where you live. When I lived in FL I have Verizon and it was great. I moved to MO 3 years ago and had zero coverage. I tried to get out of my contract since they had no service at all here and they actually tried to sue me to stay in my contract (yes, you read that right). I finally got out of it and went with AT&T which has amazing coverage here. Last year I drove all over KS, MO and AR for work and my personal phone was the only phone I could use off the highways. Here, it's because Cingular had all the towers and AT&T bought Cingular so voila, AT&T has great coverage. My bill is really reasonable too, we have two BlackJacks with 3000 minutes a mo, rollover, unlimited nights and weekends, unlimited text and data transfer for $135 a month.

Tara, how do you like your Acer netbook? I have been looking and looking at those and trying to decide if it's a good deal...do you like the size, speed, etc?

Tracy · Jun 10th, 2009, 07:52 PM

i have an Acer notebook and i really love it :)

i have cell phone questions!! we are looking to get a data plan when our current contract is up. we also might switch to a different service provider. i need to know what phone is best for the internet?? Blackberry? iPhone? Palm?

axcelle · Jun 10th, 2009, 07:57 PM

Tracy I think your answers are going to be as diverse as the users themselves! Those are all different interfaces, and don't forget Windows Mobile (that's what I use). I testdrove the Blackberry and the iPhone and liked Windows best, as it was the most similar to my home computer and seemed the easiest for me to learn. I am also not a big fan of touchscreen phones as I hate fingerprints on screens. I would recommend playing with the phones at your local service stores and seeing which have the features you like best and which seem most comfortable to you. Just my 2 pennies!

I wasn't too sure where to post this, but this seemed like the most appropriate place.

I have never seen RM in real life, except for my own MAM which I purchased online (with the aid of all you very helpful and encouraging Minkettes) and this past weekend, I made a trip down to Seattle for some shopping and was in the bag section at Nordies, following a friend who was in the process of showing me a MbMJ she was interested in (though she didn't know the brand and called it a Michael Kors, but that's an aside), and suddenly, was stopped dead in my tracks.

A real life studded grape nikki. A navy blue MAM. A fawn (maybe almond?) devote. and a studded roadie. And more. I literally stood there and gaped. I think my friends thought I was crazy (well, more so than usual), and I just pointed and went, OMG RM!

So, yes, no real point to my story, but I can finally say that I've seen other RMs IRL now! And am strangely excited about that fact, which I think only you guys would understand so I had to share. And no, I unfortunately didn't buy one because I'm holding out for a MAC and they didn't have any there.

axcelle · Jun 10th, 2009, 08:05 PM

smelelle, that must have been amazing! There are no stores within driving distance of my home which carry RM...I would flip out and start staring and gibbering and pointing and looking the fool, I think!

that must have been so exciting!

slowdear · Jun 10th, 2009, 08:25 PM

smelelle, I totally know what you mean. I have a Nordstrom near me and every time I go there I would stop by the RM section. I would just stand there and stare at it in awe. I can't help it and I would end up trying on the bags and touch it.

Oh I am so glad I'm not the only one

littlerock · Jun 10th, 2009, 08:34 PM

iphone Tracy!! All the way

Tracy · Jun 10th, 2009, 08:40 PM

really?

sunlitmoon · Jun 10th, 2009, 08:41 PM

IPHONE! You can get a clear protector that doesn't affect the use of the touch screen and keeps away fingerprints. I swear by them for all my apple products and even have one for the screen of my DSLR!

Yay! Thanks for sharing! It is always fun and exciting to see the RMs in real life. I can't explain it either.. it's just awesome!
