Addicted to Cell Phones (and Personal Finance Links) |
4 Comments |
My name is Lazy Man and I'm addicted to cell phones. It seems that I spend too much time reading various blogs about cell phones and not getting the things I need to get done. Specifically, I read about Palm because I've always liked their products... and now they are an underdog as the Apple iPhone and Google Android phones are getting the majority of the smartphone press. One of the better articles I've read on Palm is from a friend... he writes, 13 Reasons Why Palm Pixi is Better than the Apple iPhone. (You'll recognize the theme I'm sure.)
It's a strange addiction, because it's not like I learn new cell phone tricks that make me more efficient. I learn a few tips, but 90% of the time, it's more for the entertainment factor than it is about productivity.
There's another reason why I'm addicted to cell phones. However, that's a story for later today (hopefully)... for now here are some personal finance links from last week:

Ah did you hear the latest on cell phones? they can be harmful to your health!
I know what you mean! I’ve spent the last two weeks reading reviews on the HD2 and praying it comes to Sprint or Verizon.
“I learn a few tips, but 90% of the time, it’s more for the entertainment factor than it is about productivity.” Amen!
