My husband loves the newest and most complicated electronic devices that come out on the market. We got him and iPhone in October and by December he wanted a new Android.
He calls me on Thursday last week with this "it will save money in the long run" pitch about switching cell carriers and phones. I knew what he was getting at, he just wanted the new Android (Droid) X. Now, I had no idea what this thing was. It has a weird red eye and sounds very Si-Fi (which of course is right up his alley). To make a long story short, we switched carriers, I got convinced to get this Droid thingy and now a week and a day later it lays here beside me and I have no idea what to do with it.
I tried to make a call from it early this morning and it wouldn't work. I was thinking I was really inept until I discovered I couldn't accept calls either...not my problem. My phone was not "activated" properly. So all the work my husband had done the night before was wiped clean and I had to start all over this morning on my own. Let me explain my electronic abilities...wait I have none. It has been a challenging day with this new contraption. I have finally been able to make calls. No one has called me (that I know of) so I don't know if it receives. It keeps saying "Droid" in this awful robotic voice anytime I do get an email or a text from my husband trying to convince me that I am going to like this phone. It sort of freaks me out. I want to make the creepy voice stop!
Needless to say, I have no idea what I am doing or even where to begin with this silly thing. Sometimes I think I wish I could go back to a phone that just makes and receives phone calls and is attached to the wall with a black curly cord. Life was much simpler back then!
(I actually had a phone like this growing up!)
