The End of a Mobile Marriage

iPhone MarriageAs of 1PM EDT yesterday, my iPhone 3GS has officially been retired. Me and old whitey (my white iPhone 3GS) had an amicable divorce performed by a Best Buy Wireless associate. There was a lot of love in that relationship over the last two years. Old whitey got a minor facelift, dropped a few pounds, and got a whole lot faster from summer of 2008 to summer of 2009 to call herself the 3GS instead of the 3G.

I never much cared for my mother-in-law in that relationship. Ol’ Ma Bell, more formally known to outsiders as AT&T, always caused troubles in our relationship. She was always trying to get in my business. If she thought I had talked enough, she’d just drop the call. Being old-timey in her ways she thought I spent too much time Twittering and playing on “the Facebook” so she would see to it all too frequently that my Internet connection would be non-existent. Now she wants to limit everybody’s access and limit them to a fixed amount of bandwidth before being penalized monetarily.

Sprint HTC EVO 4GDon’t feel too sad for me. I’m happy to report that I’m in the early courting stages with another who is very sexy. Oh is she beautiful. She’s larger than any others I’ve been with, but big girls need love, too. I call her EVO. Her figure is gorgeous. Slim, beautiful, vibrant, fast, engaging. She’s got more radios than you’d find at a NASCAR race. Wi-fi Wireless N, CDMA 3G, WiMax 4G, bluetooth, and even FM radio.

EVO is a much more social creature than old whitey. I can go to one place and see what’s happening on Twitter, Facebook, and Flickr. My contacts are vibrant with photos imported from my Facebook friends. My calendar is unified with my Exchange, GMail, and Facebook accounts. Not only does she dig the long ball with the MLB at Bat app, she likes robots, too. I may have found the one.

    I think this is going to be a growing trend. The iPhone was cool for a while, but is it really cool when it’s the same phone you’re parents, grandparents, neighbors, etc… all run? Plus, it’s the same old hardware now for the last 3 years! No changes. Ya, I know 4 will be better and different, but they should have done that a year ago.

    The EVO is a great device from HTC and on the Sprint network, it will be a solid performer. Please keep us posted on your thoughts and experiences as you continue down a new path in life. :)
