Season for Apple or BlackBerry

It is my time to figure out what is in season, Blackberry or Apple.

I have been using the iPhone for the last few months, but I am still convince that it is for me. It is a great toy as I see it. If I actually use the apps for gaming or other useless adventures, I will be nuts about it. I don't use lots of them as I don't have the time to visit the app store to see what is available. I don't care much for them as most of them are not free. I am just too cheap to get any of them. I use my phone to connect with people and that's all I do. The battery life isn't the greatest either.

iPhone is a great little toy, but I don't really see myself going nuts about it. I thought that I would be using the iPod function more, but I have not in reality. I don't use it much because of the battery life. my old iPod has a great battery life and I can use it for many hours before I need to charge it. If I use the iPhone like I use my iPod, I would need to charge it after a 12 hour use. I just want something to be ease of use.

On the other hand, Blackberry is great. Great battery life even with the Push email. That's something iPhone can never touch. The real clicking keyboard is just awesome. I can type faster and without worrying about anything. Blackberry also have better connection with the Bluetooth headset. With Rogers wireless, I can hook up to the network and use the Wifi to make calls from my Blackberry.

I guess iPhone is out. I just have to call Rogers Wireless and make the switch.

Never Say Never

I got engaged last November, and she is moving in next month. We also picked the date that we are going to tie the knot. Things are looking up and I am looking forward in spending the rest of life with Marion.

It took me a while to get back on my feet after my divorce a few years ago. It wasn't easy and the road was rough. With support from friends, I got through it and I met my wife to be last year. Things moved quickly for both of us and I have no regret. I am not doing it for the fear of being alone, but I see a future with Marion. She is the perfect woman. She is independent and doesn't rely on other people to do things for her. We have so much in common and we make a great pair.

The date is set and It will be August 20th, 2011. We don't know where yet, but it will be in Vancouver. There are so many beautiful parks here and the day will be stunning no matter what!!!!
