Is it Friday yet?

About a month ago I started two new jobs. I'm a part-time secretary for the school M goes to, and I'm tutoring three girls in 6th grade math. I also took my first paid gig as a face painter for a kid's birthday party, and made the cake as well. (It was a pirate ship, complete with sails, water & a shark.)

As soon as I pay off some old debts, I think the first thing I might put my paycheck towards is one of these. I have to have some help keeping track of my schedule. Between stuff for the kids, doctor appointments for my father & aunt, work, tutoring, and everything else, I either need something like this or a personal secretary.

I've been doing some pretty extensive research into smartphones recently (Marla wants one for much the same reason as you do) and have come to have a pretty strong preference for the Blackberry Curve over anything short of an iPhone based on performance vs. price.

Looks like it'll sync well with a mac too, as long as I get the software.

When it gets closer to the time that I actually have money (ha!) I'll go do the hands-on testing, to see which one I like. (Who knows, by then maybe the iPhone will have been more debugged, unlocked and cheaper!)

Or maybe I'll ask Khang if I can sit down and play with his - he's got a Blackberry something, and I know it's got the GPS thing, 'cause we couldn't get it to find the Hard Rock Cafe in Orlando when we needed it to!
