meh (mobile edition)

So on the way home I stopped by the Sprint store to do some poking. And I didn't like anything I saw. There were some I didn't dislike, but I didn't see anything and say "Holy crap! That would be a great new phone!" I tried to think of all my friends who had talked about looking forward with salivation and joy to the brand new blackapple galactic android, to see if I could perhaps cradle one of them in my hands and let that contagious excitement flow through me.

I looked at the Curve, which has no touch screen and so far as I can tell no means for moving the cursor around the screen. I looked at the iPhone which has no keyboard, but to which I might get used if I can overcome the frustration of typing on invisible keys and the effort it took to get out of iMusic and into actual phone functions. I looked at the HTC EVO SOMETHING SOMETHING which appeared functional and would probably do what I needed, despite being a gigantic chunk of technology. And the Kyocera, which I had the impression was a cheap brand, may have been my top chef of phones.

P.S. Posting a reply here instead of LJ was a complete pain in the ass, and I'm not likely to do it again.

): Thanks. Was it making DW use your LJ account that was the issue?

The OpenID thing isn't so bad. It's the constant question-answering. Do I really want to see that page, it's adult content! Yes. I said that a minute ago. Oh, now answer our clever question to make sure you're not a robot! Um, guys, "hair" is not really a body part. So let's not use brain teasers, hmm? Maybe just straightforward questions?

Ask me a non-robot question when I log in, fine. But every time I want to click on anything? Super annoying.

Do you mind if I pass this on to them? It doesn't mean it'll change, but they're small enough that they do seem to pay attention.
