OMGZ. So, my phone has been cracked for about…six months now? Anyway, I’ve sort of just ignored it, but we have a new phone we can order according to our plan, so I finally, finally thought I’d look into what phones were available, and I’m not even kidding, minutes later, they announced the G2 (this one!) would be available for pre-order at the end of the month. So, yeah, that’s on the shortlist of things I desperately want.

The main thing that made me reluctant to get another phone was that I really like how seamlessly my contacts and gmail work with my current phone, the G1, and I don’t know how well a non-google phone would do the same. I also like that it has a full physical keyboard, as I have no patience for on-screen keyboards, and a lot of the other Android phones on the market don’t have them.

One option was just to get another G1 to replace my broken one, but it seemed wasteful, and the one thing I don’t like about it is that it doesn’t have the storage capacity to handle the latest versions of Android. Luckily, the G2 I’m sure will work equally seamlessly, has a full physical keyboard and I’m guessing it’ll be upgraded to handle the next few versions of Android. I’m excited! I hope they push this thing out before the end of the year; I don’t want to wait that long for a new phone.

Oh, also, I moved to Chicago. It’s great, but more on that later.
