My Cingular wireless contract was up and I decided to switch over to Sprint - somewhat ironic as Sprint Canada sent a debt collector after my mom many years ago after signing her up for long distance without her approval.

There was a snafu related to my being a moron and signing up for family service with two phones, but yesterday my new LG PM-325 showed up. I picked it primarily because it’s Sprint’s only Bluetooth capable phone, and I wanted something that could be used as a Bluetooth modem by my PDA (a Dell Axim v50v, also a recent aquisition). I was nervous since there seems to be a lot of complaints online about the lack of Bluetooth functionality, but after a Google search revealed the magic dialup number missing from Sprint’s web site (it’s #777), I was easily able to get the modem capability up and working. Definitely not a cell phone afficiando by any stretch, but it seems to be a pretty slick little package for my purposes. Having it able to play AC/DC for ringtones is a definite plus.

It also has a camera, which is something I didn’t have before. So I took a few photos of Seattle’s fall colors while doing yard work.
