A Letter to my Phone

By Laurie | March 13, 2009

Dear CrackBlackBerry Curve,

I love you. You know I do. I mean, who would have ever dreamed I would have Facebook, Twitter, and the Internet all in the palm of my hand? We won’t even talk about the maps and GPS. We all know you are my bestest friend.

Remember when we took that 60 mile walk over 3 days together? That was a good time. Who else would have posted all of my pictures to Flickr and Facebook documenting our journey for all of our supporters? Without you it definitely wouldn’t have been as interactive. Who else is going to help me dodge those annoying kiosk people in the mall? We have definitely foiled our fair share of “do you have natural nails?” and “come smell this” tactics with our fake conversations together. Good times.

And all those mornings that you wake me up with your alarm? I really appreciate that annoying little ring that gets me out of bed. Really, I do. I would like to say that we will be together forever. However, I know that I am a fickle beast and go through cell phones as fast as Apple comes out with a new iPod.

That leads me to the beef I have with you. Do I really need to equip myself at all times with tools (including scissors, makeup brushes, tweezers, ball point pins, old packaging) that will allow me to pop in the spare battery I bought awhile back? I mean seriously. I know I am going to probably drain my battery while communicating at SXSW. Who knows if I will be able to plug in and charge you. I am a little embarrassed that it took over 20 minutes to find the right piece of random plastic needed to wedge in the tiny crack that opens your battery compartment. And here I thought you were perfect. Sheesh.

Do me a favor and have your people work on that before the next model comes out. Don’t make me threaten to replace you with an iPhone, because you know I don’t want to.

Love,
Me
