My time for a new phone is in exactly 3 days. I do not need a new phone because I ♥ my Blackberry with my whole being. I have spent long hours getting everything to work exactly like I want it to and bought numerous – ok, maybe just 4 – applications that do fun things (like tell me the weather in my city, my work’s city, the city where my in-laws’ lake home is, and Orlando or one that changes the color of my LED light to match each and every little transmission). I love my Blackberry. I really really do. I do! I swear.

So why is the title DROID!!!!!!!!!?

Well….I decided that I just wanted to “play” with a Droid powered phone. I just want to see what all the fuss is about. If we weren’t on Verizon and had AT&T, you can bet your sweet bippy that I’d be sportin a shiny new iPhone. And yes, I already have a kick ass iPod but I’d load that iPhone up with apps!

Ahh…iPhone…will you one day be mine?

NOPE…back to reality.

Ok…so I’ve sent my husband to the Verizon store probably a dozen times asking about the DROID powered phones and decided on getting a HTC Incredible. I was set in my decision. HTC Incredible. I was even looking for cases! I was GOING to pick out a Casemate Gelli case to match my beloved Blackberry’s case. The only downfall is that the HTC Incredible are backordered about a month, so I would have to wait to get my hands on that new baby.

And, and, and THEN yesterday, Verizon announces a BRAND SPANKING NEW Motorola Droid is coming out on July 15th. The DROID X. July 15th.

Thank you Verizon for this timely announcement.

So of course, since I made a decision on what phone I want, another lovelier, wonderfuler phone comes out. At least I didn’t actually make a purchase.

So the Droid X. It’s a monster of a phone. I think it’s twice the size of mine! It’s HUGE! I need to see it in person…actually, maybe it would be better to be surprised. lol It just looks HUGE. Not iPad huge, but cell phone HUGE!

Yup…that’s the monster above. But boy does it look cool when people are using it!! I’ve watched probably 10 videos and read a few reviews. The only thing I am concerned about is that I really like the way the HTC Incredible’s screen looks! But, there are all kinds of apps and widgets so I guess I will find a look that I like.

Here’s the Incredible.

Pretty, isn’t it? Hmm…

See the dilemma? What to do…what to do…

Sunday comes entirely too quickly! But with it brings True Blood! woo hoo! Cannot wait every Sunday night at 9 to sit and watch the vampires of Louisiana. Love.this.show! And I’ve been listening to the books too. I’m on Book 4, which so far is the best one and I’m gaining a new…um…respect for Eric. lol I need to separate the books from the show because although the show follows the books pretty closely, they aren’t exact. Pretty dern close though!

I follow TrueBloodHBO on Twitter and they posted that Tru Blood, the drink from the show is now available to pre-order. How cool is that? We may just order some to have the bottles in the house, they are too cool.
From the website:

Be the first to own the Tru Blood Drink, Ships early exclusively at the HBO Shop!
It’s official! The Tru Blood drink has now been ‘de-fictionalized’ and emerges into reality as a delicious blood orange carbonated drink.

• Meticulously crafted, the Tru Blood Drink is an exact replica of the bottle design as seen on True Blood. The 14oz glass Tru Blood bottle is stained in a rich red, with raised Tru Blood English lettering and matching Japanese Kanji.
• This blood orange flavored soda is slightly tart, lightly sweet and subtly carbonated. Designed to taste great while matching the appearance of Bill’s favorite drink, the drink pours like a regular soda, but with the standing appearance in a glass is stormy and mysterious.

Drop Dead Diva is also on and so is Army Wives. I think DDD is on at 9 too, but I can always catch it when they rerun it, or we can catch True Blood at 11:30 when it comes on again. I didn’t think I’d like Drop Dead Diva, but I really do. I think I’ve seen them all so far…and I even got the pilot for free on iTunes and it’s on my iPod! I think it’s pretty funny and a concept that hasn’t really ever been done before. My Sunday nights are filling up with choice TV viewing!

I didn’t really blog to discuss my television viewing choices for Sunday nights, I promise! Well, not that I have much else better to say…lol

Comic Con is going on right now and they released two sneak peeks of New Moon the other day. Someone video taped them, so this is like a video of a video but the quality is actually ok, and you’ll get the idea. There are 2 of them, although when I first saw them, I saw them both together in one clip. I can’t find that now…so here are the 2 separate. I put 2 first because I like this one better. *Edited the videos out because they were removed due to copyright violation…*sob*!

There is a BUNCH of screaming during both of them. I REALLY hope that seeing the actual movie isn’t going to be like that. Theaters should have an “adult” showing of the movie without all of the screaming girls! When we saw Twilight there was a little screaming, but not so bad. I can already tell this is gonna be CRAZY! Too many bare chested vampires/werewolves in this movie! lol I’ll probably go see it a week or so after it’s been out…give the screaming girls time to see if first.

So my husband went out and did this thing…we shall not talk about. It was MY idea really, which I totally regret putting the thought into his head, but like I said…we’re not gonna talk about that. Anyway…his phone was eligible for an upgrade, but he didn’t want to upgrade his phone. Whereas, I really do ♥ my blackberry, it’s been slow lately, not loading websites, and for whatever reason, on Friday, the BB Messenger wasn’t working, my camera wasn’t working and it was SUPER slow to load anything!! I was ready to throw the thing out the window of the truck, but I didn’t. He contacted Verizon to see if his phone upgrade could be transferred to my phone…well, it seems as though it can! So he ordered me the new Blackberry Tour. I don’t like touch screen, or I would have gotten the Storm…but the Tour is cool and seems to have great ratings. So tomorrow, I will be the proud owner of a brand new shiny Crackberry! LOL Hopefully it won’t take me too long to get used to it. It only took me 8 or so months to get used to the Curve! LOL I’m sure it’s not THAT different from the one I have now!

Just finally got the new WordPress application for my Blackberry to work!! Testing it out now!

Well I have about 3 hours or so left to listen to Breaking Dawn. I like the book, but it’s really different than the others. And listening to it is even weirder.

The book, so far, is broken up into 2 parts…there may be a 3rd, I’m not sure. But the 1st was “told” by Bella and the 2nd is “told” by Jacob. So it’s a male voice reading it…which maybe is what is making it so odd.

It’s good and I like it…I guess it’s not what I expected. It’s got a natural progression and it’s interesting how the “problem” is presented. I’m hoping that it will have a good ending. I hate books with bad endings!! Hopefully I finish it tomorrow. I paused it at a really intense part today…generally I try not to do that, but it was time to go and I needed to shut it off. I may got back a little bit to start this part over so I get the whole effect tomorrow.

I got my Blackberry!!! I am addicted…but, NO RINGTONES!!! Ugh!!! I LOVE my ringtones!! I don’t know why I can’t have ringtones. I’m going to try an online site and see if I can get those to work, but I am totally bumming over the ringtones.

The phone is so complex. There’s so much going on…it’s distracting. OMG. And I have no games either. I’m a ringtone and game girl…had I known…well, I still would have gotten it…so I guess that doesn’t really matter LOL DUMB though…
