I heart my Phone!

MeI hate Sprint (our cell phone service provider). But... I love my phone! It takes the most awesome cellphone camera pictures. People always tell me, "Dang! Your cellphone takes GOOD pictures!" I smile and say, "I know!" LOL Well? It's true! haha The last phone I had took good pictures too. I had to throw it away though because it kept shutting down on me everytime I closed it. Guess throwing it against the wall was bound to wear it down huh? HAHAHA. No, just kidding. I didn't do that but I always dropped it. ALWAYS. Don't know how but it always happened to me. So... when I finally decided to get a new one, more about looks, I was all about "picture quality". You should have seen me at the Sprint store. Testing out all their phones camera and pic feature. LOL *flash flash!* All over the place! haha I'm glad I got the one I got. It's taken some great pictures. The only problem I was having with it lately was the memory card.

[hidepost]Me[/hidepost]My phone comes with a micro SD card but you know, it's filled up already! So now it's saving all my pics to my cell phone memory and taking up space. And I refused to delete pictures off my micro SD card. I have pictures and videos we took when Sofia was born... and if I hadn't mentioned this already before, a few weeks ago I lost ALL (every single one) pictures and videos taken with our digital camera because our external drive crashed one day. ALL my pregnancy, ultrasound images, baby pics, birth pics, videos of my belly... (did I repeat myself? Yeah, it makes me upset just to think about it again) ALL GONE! Poof, like that! I'm SO glad that I uploaded a ton of those pics to Flickr though so I have those as backups now. I just need to order and print them. I'm also thankful to GOD for giving me the idea to make a movie with a lot of those pics and videos for my Mom. So my Mom has a DVD with movies and pictures of Sofia's birth. Now when I go to Cali, I will make a copy for us.

[hidepost]Me[/hidepost]Anyway... got sidetracked there for a moment. So yeah... I refused to delete those pics. Today I went online and ordered a new micro SD card, adapters and a reader. This way I can transfer them to my PC. Woohooo! I'm so excited! The Micro SD card I have right now is 64mb. The one I bought is 1GB. Dude! Imagine all that pics I can take! And I wanted to do this before I went to Cali so I can take lots of pics with my camera when and if I forgot my digital at home. Hey, I know the quality won't be the same if I forget but at least I have some captures for memories, ya know? PLUS, my little brother loves to take my phone from me and take random pictures of people (mostly family making silly faces) or of things. I love to look at these later and smile. *hehe*

So what kind of phone do you have? Are you happy with it? And do you use your camera on there often? I couldn't live without it! Seriously. I take a pictures of Sofia everyday and send them to Hubby. Specially when we're down here in Waco. They makes his day! =)

  2. Yes, it was... I almost cried... but then I thought about it and was like, "You know what? It's ok. You have LOTS of other pictures saved. And what's most important, you got them in your memory and heart forever." And that's what matters. I'll never forget the feeling and the images. They're engraved in my heart and mind forever. So it's ALLLLL good.

  4. I have a blackberry curve, it takes beautiful pics. I also have that 2g card in it. Man those cards are sooo tiny. It's amazing how so much information can fit in such a tiny thing! My phone is awesome, I luff it! I love having my mail on my phone, that's why I bought the curve.

  5. I have an LG and I hate it. The picture quality sucks so I don't ever use it. I'm planning on getting a new phone sometime soon and I'm hoping it will have better quality than this one has. Oh, and I love that picture of you and Sofia. I showed it to Bryan and he laughed because he's never seen a baby that young smile so big like that. She is just too precious.

  6. Oh noes! I am ultra sad about that. I think the more that time goes on - the more I think I need to just upload everything to flickr and then filter what I want to be seen because losing all my photos would surely cause me to lose my cool.

  9. I did the same thing a year ago and people thought I was so crazy for just looking at the camera features of a phone and how the flash worked. The reps didn't expect me to know much about the phone I was looking at either. haha

    But anyway, People think I'm an ass for having a phone with a tricked out 3 megapixel camera. But I want good pictures in low light. I wanted that sexy flash and auto focus! ;)

  11. oh noes, that really sucks Ana, but I'm so glad you can now see it with a positive way!! you have your memory to cherish them forever! and also Flickr as a back-up. ;)

    I rarely use my mobile phone, it's old anyways, it's a Sharp one, it takes crappy pics and doesn't really have a big memory. but it works well if I want to call a friend or something or use the calendar, I hold on to it 'cause I'm too "attached" to it. *lol* but I really wanna get a new one someday, it would make me happy and would be a nice change!! ^__^

    and Sofia, what a big smile that is!!! gahh she's so gorgeous!! <3

    oh and I wear glasses too (off topic) on the computer only, contacts when I go out *lol*. here's a quick (poor quality!) webcam pic of me:

  14. My boyfriend and I use Sprint too and I don't like them either, I think they're too expensive. I don't know what kind of phone I have, I know it doesn't have a camera either. I'm not to choosy when it comes to a telly, as long as I can talk on it I'm good.

    Oh man, I'm would be so upset if I lost those kind of pictures!

    lol at the first picture...it's so cute! I love the little grin she's making!

  15. Hi Ana! Well, I got the iPhone almost 2 weeks ago & the only thing I don't like is that I can only email photos I take on my phone.. I can't send them as a picture/txt msg :( other than that the pictures it takes come out pretty good & I wish it had effects like the 'sepia' effect you used on Sofia.. cute pic of her btw. Other than that, I love my phone because I can do so much more with it & get my money's worth for the monthly plan that I pay for.

  18. Lol! I was going to re-record because I didn't know it was recording and you can hear the babies in the background and hear their toys, but how fun would that have been! :D Not very! Hehe. I feel like a dork...but I'll get more used to it.

  21. Lol! Okay I had to listen to what I recorded! Hehe...I need to clarify on the letting them cry part! I didn't let them cry when they needed something! Lol, I just let them whine for about five minutes and then went to comfort them. I started that around 6 months. Because with twins it is really hard to NOT let one cry...because if one cries the other will start and it is just back and forth so with them, I kind of HAD to let them whine it out sometimes. That sounds really mean! Sorry. :( For a little bit they would cry just to cry and I couldn't take it anymore! So if you get to that point just let her cry for about five minutes...she is still really young though so it gets better, I promise! Lol. I just want to laugh at people when they say motherhood isn't hard! It is a 24/7 job. It is very hard but very rewarding. I actually have time now to take a shower and get ready! I didn't when they were younger though. And you can hear Cheyenne on the audio! Lol. She is my little needy one, so I tend to cater to her more than Callie. Callie is MUCH more independent than Cheyenne. So I would probably be tooting a different horn [about the letting them cry thing] if I had one baby and it was Cheyenne. And yay! I have you occupied for what? the next fifteen minutes! Lol. As you can tell I am very bored myself! :D I will have to install that plugin though, I really like it! :D

  22. I have t-mobile and I use the pink Juicy Couture Sidekick 2 which takes really, really, really crappy pictures!!! :-P

    I want the iPhone!!!!!!!! OH YES!!!!!!!!!!! Since having the iPod Touch which was FREE through hubbies work (yah ted!) since fall . . . it makes me want the iPhone really bad because I have seen pictures the iPhone takes and I think they are great even though I hear people complain about them. they are 2.0 which is awesome for an iPhone and I think as the next iPhone comes out the camera will just get better and better.

    So for now its my pink Juicy phone that I love but when I leave the house it's always 3 things to grab to put in my purse... 1. my juicy phone 2. my iPod touch & 3. my camera. - If I had the iPhone I would only need to grab 1 thing...
    BUT I DONT WANT to sign up w/ AT&T. Soooo thats why I have not bought the iPhone. Sigh.

    The best things about my current phone is a. its pink & b. it has a qwerty keyboard for lots of text messaging :-) & c. its pink & d. oh and its pink! :-) hehe

    xoxo

    P.S. What is the name of your phone???

  24. P.S.

    Guess what? I just bought another external hard drive from amazon . . . so that my back up would have a back up!

    I am freaked out to lose all my stuff like you did. What a bummer. :-(

  28. Girl, I think I would slit my wrists if I lost all the pictures, etc on my computer. Ooh goodness. :(

    I have a Blackberry 8703, and it DOESN'T have a camera phone. I didn't really care either way because the last phone I had featured a camera phone, and I barely used it. I've just always wanted a Blackberry though(lol).
