Annelid's blog: "Ramblings,thoughts and assorted stuff"

As you all may know,not know nor care, I work in the fun exciting world of I.T. consulting. That's right kids, I set up servers, run network cable and all that fun stuff. Anyways, as we all know the economy has been slow (for me especially) and as much as I loved my BB, it was time for me get out of the contract. I couldn't justify spending a bit over $100 a month for data (ie web browsing - which i loathe to do on a screen the size of a stick of gum, emails - which is important - especially work related ones). I never was a crackberry fiend as those with BB's call them selves. But what to do about emails when I'm not home? Hmmmmmmmm. I looked around and there wasn't much out there....push email/data plans cost a bit from all the major carriers so that was out. Then my lil fat fingers came across a device called the "peek". It doesn't do MMS/Pictures/ring tones and all that nonsense. It does email. 3 email accounts actually. So i bit the bullet so to speak and got one. It works! I added my primary work email to it and 2 other "personal" accounts I use from time to time. This cost's about $20 a month and from I've read it uses the T-Mobile towers (which around these here parts work quite well). So yea, I have to carry a peek and a regular cell phone ( from t-mobile but i got the cheapest voice plan with my faves..which works out wonderfully as I can call the parental units , the gf and so on , be it cell or land line and it's unlimited!) . No biggy, it just adds to my geeky look.
