Beautiful Morning

It is now Friday morning and I have taken the whole day off from work to do some exercising before having to leave for Richmond to perform another show. It feels so relaxing to get rest instead of rushing around the house to get ready for the office, and I'm going enjoy every minute of it! :)

I have gradually gotten back into working out with my free weights at home and can see a difference in my physique. My upper body has been growing a bit and actually feel good when I look in the mirror. The only frustrating thing is my not having enough cardio to do. I really like to run outside with my iPod nano and Nike Sport kit, but the weather has been too cold and I don't really like running the treadmill at the house. Other than that I am feeling pretty good overall to where I decided to take last night off and eat pizza and drink alcohol. Not the best way to stay in shape, but I think I earned a free night as long as it was done in moderation.

A funny thing happened last night to my TyTN 2. In the middle of a phone call it suddenly went dead and made a constant buzzing noise. Pressing buttons and sliding the phone did absolutely nothing as the screen remained black and the unit continued buzzing! Luckily I had my Nokia E90 next to me, so I quickly took the battery out of my TyTN 2 (which finally stopped the buzzing) and placed my SIM card into it to resume my previous call. This is incident really has me concerned for the reliability of my HTC device and I am nervous to use it again as my main phone. Even though it has been working fine since I turned it back on again I am still keeping my SIM in the E90 for the time being.

This is a bad situation and I am really looking forward to the arrival of my Treo 750 from AT&T today. It doesn't have all of the features of the TyTN 2, but it at least has 3G, a good qwerty and Windows Mobile. What is such a shame is that I have been growing accustomed to my TyTN 2 over the past few days of using it. It is really a good alternative to my E90 with its smaller size and touchscreen navigation even though the battery life and multimedia need some improvement. Even though the arriving Treo 750 may be in the same boat in regards to the battery, I think I still may have the extended life battery that I had purchased previously for my Treo 680. The E90 is a wonderful phone and I enjoy using it, but every now and then I get a bit bothered by its bulk and its
non-touchscreen interface. Sometimes Symbian can appear to be slower than Windows Mobile 6 in terms of performance and no good quality camera can convince me to overlook that. Using the TyTN 2 through the day has been a great experience with its responsive touchscreen, and a need for a quality pictures and 30fps video hardly comes up. Though I plan to keep my E90 beast indefinitely, I guess I am just changing my taste in smartphones according to what my needs are on any given day. Either way, I am glad to have the privilege of owning a variety of qwerty smartphones to choose from. It's good to be a tech-addict...no matter how financially strapped I am!
