Eric Stewart: Running Off At The Mouth

In which I regale you with the story of a wholesale warehouse company’s crappy timing; me attempting to purchase, at most, three phones; ending up with orders for five; get passed around (and tell the same story) to around four people over the phone with Verizon and then again to two or three people at a Verizon store; and also receive a phone call from a disgruntled former provider.

Yeah, I’ve drank the Koolaid. But as one of the smartest people I know said, “I drank the Koolaid and I feel fine.” I woke up at 3am on September 14th to preorder the iPhone 5, since my wife and I were both eligible for upgrades to our Samsung Epic 4G phones. We decided to make the jump. Here’s my experience so far.

Okay … so given the access to something like Nandroid, I decided to give the CyanogenMod 9 Beta 3 a try on the Samsung Epic 4G. Here’s a few notes and pointers. Thing is, I probably won’t need that Nandroid backup …

My new place of employment provides some employees with cell phones. Currently, that phone is a Droid2. Here’s what I have to say about my experiences with mine.

Just under a week, a post about what I miss from the Palm Pre (and in a few cases, what Google needs to fix fast), what I really like about my Samsung Epic 4G, and tips for the average Epic user.

I’ve had a new experience with my Pre and Sprint, and decided to let you know some thoughts, since it’s been almost a year. Oh, and I might have a word or two about the Evo.

A review of what’s been going on in the world of the Palm Pre this past week or so. This includes TWO updates to the webOS and a new method for installing “tweaks”.
