After delaying for many years, I finally upgraded to a smart phone. The salesman was impressed as my old phone was activated in 2005. The funny thing is, I’d still be on an even older phone if it weren’t for Cingular buying AT&T Wireless and shutting down the TDMA network forcing me to upgrade in 2005. Now Cingular is AT&T Mobility and we’ve gone full circle.

I don’t care for anything Apple, but relented and allowed my wife and daughter to get iPhones. Feeling out of the picture, I decided it was finally time to upgrade. I’ve been holding out for the latest Google Nexus, but the cost factor pointed me to the Motorola Atrix running Android on AT&T’s “4G” network. It is a pretty slick phone with powerful hardware and the community is anxiously awaiting updates to a newer version of android and unlocking of other capabilities.

I’ve got everything I need on this phone but a Sonos controller. I installed andronos but am still waiting on the official Sonos release which has been delayed until “April”.

Words with Friends people – I’m struggling to get up to speed so take it easy on me.
