Smartphone!
I got a new phone about a month ago. Its main draw, besides a keyboard, was the palm operating system it uses. It works well, it’s fast, and it feels like it’s 2001 all over again.
It’s a “smartphone.” This sounded ominous when I first got it. How smart, exactly, are we talking? Smart enough to be able to get rid of people I don’t want to talk to? Smart enough to turn on me? They don’t say. Here’s what Palm says about their precious Centro:
The Palm® Centro™ smartphone gives you tons of ways to keep in touch with friends. Call up Brian. Fire off a quick text to Jen. Text message Chris. Or shoot an email to Kat. All you need is a Palm Centro. (And a few friends, of course.)
Clever little tag at the end there, Palm. Nice jab at my pathetic social life and poor self esteem. Why not finish it up with this?
What’s that? You don’t have any friends? Then it doesn’t sound like the Centro is the phone for you, my friend. Why don’t you go curl up in the fetal position with your non-web-enabled Motorola, and leave the Centros for us healthy, normal types.
It doesn’t even matter. You probably wouldn’t like Brian, anyway(to say nothing of Kat. Her laugh is so grating. It’s like, are you trying to be that annoying? Seriously.)
