seperis | let me introduce my new soulmate

You may not be aware that I sadly lost my phone in a tragic accident involving turning it off on the plane and then forgetting about it. So it is possibly in Ohio. It was hard.

HOWEVER! There is a new phone in my life.

T-Mobile G1 who has been named Arthur, and go ahead and think all the dirty thoughts you want. He contains multitudes, and lets me surf the internet with a tiny keyboard. My parents surprised me with it today (well, told me yesterday, but trust me, you cannot not be surprised when they say "shiny phone" and it is the answer to your innermost fantasies about never being separated from the internet again).

I'm so infatuated.

Arthur.

I always name my tech for my fandom.

(I can browse the web. I still cannot figure out how to get music onto it from my computer. BUT I WILL PREVAIL.)

Jealous! Please post what you think of it after having it for a few days. I'm looking at getting a new phone (I have t-mobile) and am choosing among the newest blackberry curve, the same bb I have now or the G1.

ps - love that you name your tech after fandoms. What's the computer's name?

Current Laptop is John II, or Colonel John II (SGA). Previous laptop was John (now John I). The desktop before that was Brian (Queer as Folk), and the ipod is Little Colonel (SGA). Previous computers were Schindler and Darcy. *g*

My tech follows my fandom. The next laptop will probably end up being named Merlin.

I always name my tech for my fandom.

Of course! My laptop is Galadriel, the netbook is Winchester (I couldn't choose between Sam and Dean), the iPod is Serenity (the old one was Rodney), the phone is the Impala and the flash drive is Puddlejumper 1.

It's only logical! *g*

Exactly!

Me, I name my cars for my fandom. The red van with gold trim and lion-print seat covers? Arthur. The little silver couple with the dragon steering wheel cover and blue flame seat covers? Merlin, of course. Hee!

Have fun with the G1 -- we await your review!

The names are logical. *purrs* Though the description of the coup....

Tech and cars, baby. Computers named Chuck and George. The Wii is Walter. The car is named Urgo.

:)

(my phone is a work-issued piece of shit that doesn't deserve a name)

My desktops are always named Maudlin. The HP laptop that I thought was going to be mine until Himself co-opted it is named Mnemosyne (in my defense, I was on painkillers at the time); the laptop that actually ended up being mine (after I pointed out to Himself that he had, in effect, annexed Mnemosyne) is named Minerva (for the goddess, not the Gryffindor.)

Hubby has one too and damn near pets the fucking thing. I am very jealous.

~L

...it's hard not to pet it.

*jerks hand back from smooth case*

Uh-huh. :: Looks at Jenn with deep jealousy :: I have to wait. For months. Until we can afford to get me one. I am not a happy fan girl.

~L

I am craving one too! As soon as they become available in Belgium and as soon as I find a job, this will be the first investment I'll make. \o/

Man, it is beautiful. And fast. And beautiful.

*purrs over it*

I think this is the phone my brother has. Is this the one that you can scan barcodes with and it tells you what the product is, the average retail price and where you can buy one? He could use his phone to take over a small country. I love my Blackbarry Curve, but I would totally cheat on it with his phone.

That's it. And it does a whole lot more. Hubby is very attached to his.

~L

I'm this close to an embarrassing episode with my phone now.

Have you hugged it, squeezed it and called it George yet?

~L

*grins* Arthur. He likes it.

Uh-huh. Lucky so & so.

~L

Ha! I just got mine like two days ago. Isn't it sweet?

eta: To get your music on? Super easy. Just plug into your computer with the USB cable it comes with... Then you have to make sure to "mount" the G1 so it becomes available as a drive. Just drag and drop after that.

YES IT IS. I was adding in all my favorite bookmarks and trying not to stroke it too much. IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL.

And I have the USB connected. Going now to try out the mounting and the dragging.

Arthur. Mounted.

God, I don't even WATCH Merlin and that made me giggle.

Shiny new phone \o/!

I love my G1. It is shiny and tiny and perfect.

*nodnodnod*

Shiny phone...pretty...

*NODS* It is shiny.

The G1 is so awesome!

I keep cuddling it. I wish I could find that disturbing, but I do not.

I've had my blackberry for eight months now, and I keep on expecting that eventually it's awesomeness will not seem so awesome, but it hasn't yet. So I am excited on your behalf. Phone computers are awesome.

*NODS* YES THEY ARE! *glee*

May a stranger enquire what the fandom name of the phone you left on the plane was? (Do forgive me, but it all seemed terribly symbolic!)

You know, I think when I first got it, Rodney, but me and cell phones have a very troubled relationship and I think I was calling it "Thing" near the end.

Troubled relationships become immensely better when they come with internet access, though. *mulls* There's a life lesson in that.

Heh heh heh -- I haven't actually named my cellphone for a while, but I thought it was symbolic when I changed out my Blackberry's desktop wallpaper from this pic to this one.

Have you looked through the apps yet?

Dude, seriously, there's one where you get to smoosh people.

I honestly wish I hadn't upgraded to a blackberry; because web surfing on G1 so much better.

Edit: There's also a zombie one where you drive around and escape zombies... and an escape the room game....

My sister nearly kills me everytime I kidnap hers

...I really need zombies

I've been dying for a G1 since they came out. I am so jealous! I have a Sidekick, which is pretty awesome, but not as awesome as the G1.

I name all my tech after fandom too. My new laptop is Ianto, cos he knows everything. My old one was Rodney. My Sidekick is Mr. Jones. My external harddrive is The TARDIS, cos it's bigger on the inside.

I find it strange when people don't name their tech

It is very, very pretty.

OH! You MUST give me G1 info, because I have to go to grad school and be a real grownup and get off my parents' cell plan in the next couple months and since the federal government felt the need to pay me a month's salary (this is actually not very much), I can buy a shiny, shiny phone and I've been waffling between iPhone and G1 but leaning towards G1. ...and hi, I'm doublehelix, and I love your fic.

I'm very happy with my Blackberry, which is similar in terms of having Internetz in my Pocket functionality. Mostly. Sometimes it gets cranky, but I get my e-mail, can get to my bank accounts online and can even read LJ.
