The Lucky Gadget Girl

I was torn with the decision of whether to get the Google Android or the iPhone, but Verizon doesn’t have Gsm, so it would be useless to think about getting one or the other. So I had to look through their inventory online and I saw the HTC touch Pro, and if you know me well enough you would know that I love HTC phones, I will always stand by my AT&T Tilt. However, I am tired of AT&T. So back to the story. I saw the HTC Touch Pro and was thinking of whether I would want to pay $350.00 for a new phone and wait for a $100.00 mail –in rebate. Then I saw it, and it had all the right things that I needed, Windows Mobile 6.1 a touch screen, and the thought of being able to run my old software made my mouth water. Right now in the mode of being a budgeter I decided that I would think carefully. I mean I could spend over $500.00 if I really want something, but hey $99.00 is also good when it basically does what I want it to. It is in no way an iPhone, and I never really liked Apple much anyway.

I finally got it to run how I wanted it to with my software, transferred all of my information with Google sync and got my  Gmail working. Now I did have this annoying problem with the letters being too big, it was they were assuming everyone is practically blind, so they need a booster. I had to figure it out a bit, but I got it. I went into main menu at the bottom of my screen, then settings, system,then screen, then I selected Text Size, and I placed the adjuster in the middle. That helped the huge layout that had me scrolling forever to view large papers. One thing I am working on and will do after this week is figure out the Java software on this. So as of now I am just using the email client that Verizon gave. I more or less think they did it that way so we could use the sidebar widget, which has little or no use to me. But what the heck, I will maybe like it after a while. So far I am satisfied, after a day of use.

The speakerphone is awesome, loud and clear, the sound is great too. I have the 8gb one so I added my 8gb memory to it so it has a total of 16gb storage in it. Which is cool for $99.00. I have not tried my Jabra Bluetooth headset with it since I cannot use the inside ear headphones (tiny ear passage), but I will later. Plays the music really clear and loud which I like.  I transferred my ringtones to this new phone so my ringtones are on, so now I just have to wait until the ringback tones to work. Overall it is great!!!

Here are some pictures of it so far:
