I'm thinking about getting a blackberry after my sidekick contract ends next year as I found out that Telstra no longer provides sidekick plans any more, which I was planning to renew the sidekick plan next year.

Also I'm thinking three more weeks of university classes.

Should get iPhone but I know that you can't afford to pay monthly data plan.

iPhone plans is too expensive. Even though a 1 gb of data wouldn't be enough for iPhone as they are huge data user phone.

I'm not sure if there is anything like that "discount price" on data only for deaf/hard of hearing customers. But then I could find out.

The blackberry plans, some cellphone company in Australia do have unlimited data for internet and email. So I only got about 2 and 1/2 months contract left for sidekick plan. So there's plenty of time for me to look around for other options.

Botti, do you have favorite pair of glasses?
Blue, white, and gray argyle print. I use them for reading the Sunday paper.

My second favorite is green sunglasses and the frame is green in a pastal translucent look.

If you send your audiogram to AT&T, the service provider for the iPhone, your monthly rate would go down to 60.00 a month. The iPhone comes in either an 8 or 16 MB configuration.

I like the BlackBerry over the iPhone, but it's because I am not a recreational user.

I'm thinking about several things. I realized that I'm quite behind with this thread, and now I'm all caught up with you guys.

Shel, how old is your son, Nathan?

When you mentioned Starbucks -I'm not a coffee person- I miss drinking hot chocolate with mint. I am looking forward to have some at home now that the weather has been chilly.

I am thinking about my boyfriend and waiting for him to come home from work....

Actually, not for Telstra, I know Telstra is rippiong people off on iPhone plans, have you ever checked out on other plans under different telecommunication company? Such as 3, Optus, or Vodafone..... Three, who I am with is excellent < --- internet is fast under iPhone 3GS

Honestly, for these people using 1GB of data, iPhone wouldn't use it as much as you think you can even though if you were internet heavy user... the internet on iPhone doesn't eat a lot of data which is good. My friend who owns one, only used well, 200MB over 500mb per month.

That's interesting. Lucky for Deaf American are able to get a good deal of discounts. Isn't 8MB or 16MB is too small configuration? Unless you mean by 8gb or 16gb.

Bear with me as I'm typing down on SK3.

Souggy, yeah I like blackberry as I had one in the past before moving to Australia.

Jiro, yeah Blackberry is functional and I agree it is more business like.

Jclarke, thank you for suggestion about iphone but it is unlikely I will go to iphone route as I do prefer a physical keyboard rather than a touch screen keyboard.

I am looking around other cell phone companies beside Telstra. I see Crazy John is cheaper for blackberry plan a $39.00 per month. That include texting, unlimited email and BB unlimited data.

Bottesini, thanks

Thanks everyone.

I'm feeling very pleased with my kitchen right now. There's still a little clutter on the table but everything else is clean now and clothes are ready to be taken upstairs. Trash is emptied too. Dishes are done but not put away yet.

It makes you feel good that your kitchen is clean. I think that you are copying Bree's habit from the Desperate Housewives show.

I think that is pretty normal. Like you hit plateus with a diet as your body adjusts. Probably your body adjusting to the new level of activity.
