Technology day

I was one of the suckers who went out and bought the new Verizon iPhone4.

You see I have wanted one for years but refused to switch from my beloved Verizon to AT&T. I became an Android user instead. I loved my Droid2 phone, a lot. But then in the last few years I have become a big fan of Apple. Ditching Windows has been a thing of beauty because with my Apple products... Well, they work! I don't have to sacrifice time for productivity and that is the way it should be.

I am a Tupperware Consultant and earned a free iPad last summer in a Sales/Recruiting contest! I LOVE it! I take it every where I go and use it for things like Facebook, Twitter, e-mail, Tupperware orders, games, notes, bible study, book and magazine reading, etc.

The irritation I was soon experiencing was that I was buying duplicate apps from the Apple App store and the Android Market, and my technology didn't always talk to each other.

Alas, then came a VERIZON iPhone. I contemplated waiting for a 4G version to come out. But I got email in my inbox that changed everything... An offer from an eBay store to buy back my two Droid phones for nearly the same price as the iPhone! You see I have 5 phones on my account. Two of which are eligible for upgrades now, so off I went.

Today I spent the day packaging up old phones to sell. I cleared memories, reset to factory settings, boxed 'em up and printed shipping labels. I pulled all of my accessories out, organized them and listed them on eBay the skeletons of my smartphone past.

HERE'S HOPING I BREAK EVEN!
