Why haven't I heard of a dry cleaner that offers a discount if you bring their hangers or safety pins back? Is there something I am missing here? "Bring us 100 of our hangers in good condition and we will clean a suit for free". Sounds great to me.

Quote of the Week
Thanks to Matilda for this one....Wifey and I are very happy things have worked out.
“Love is a temporary madness; it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of eternal passion. That is just being in love, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Those that truly love have roots that grow towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms have fallen from their branches, they find that they are one tree and not two.” Louis de Bernieres from Captain Corelli’s Mandolin

Back to Work
August is half over and has been a crazy month. This is my actual first full workday of the month! Spent the first full week on vacation and just got back from National Funeral Directors HQ in Wisconsin for a two day meeting. I know some of you are waiting for that BlackBerry Tour video and I will try to get it out yet this week.
I will admit that lately I have been using Twitter and Facebook more than the blog. It's just much easier for me with my lifestyle to update. So look me up there and there to see what I am up to. You will see how things get updated with my BB including GPS location with my tweets!!

Sandblasting the church ceiling
Bb tour
I will be posting frequently for you saga fans who are craving more info. I will get a video posted for you as well.
This phone ships with AC adapters for overseas travel, USB cable, AC charger, BB Desktop Manager software, AND a nice leather holster AND a 2 GB micro sd card. Yeah, wow is what I said too.
One downside: the usb cable is micro usb, not mini. Luckily for me last year I bought a BT headphone that is micro so I have an extra usb and AC cord.
I don't keep track of memory too much but this morning I did look and even with loading 3 programs to play with I have 103 mb free on the device memory.
One last thing, RIM has released the OS for this phone. Using the Desktop Manager software you can reload the OS on the phone minus anything you don't want to free up even more memory. Voice dialing would be my first choice.
One more last thing for you winmo users following this. If you are thinking about switching, think about how your email is delivered to you and begin to figure out how to do it with a BB. I was using hosted exchange server with 4smartphone.net. Fortunately, one click let me keep my current account and begin using the BB on their hosted BB Enterprise service. With them I can actually switch back and forth from winmo at will which is nice for me since the saga will be my backup.

BB Tour First Impressions
READER NOTE: My reviews of BlackBerries are geared for people like me who have never used one before or WinMo users thinking of jumping ship. If you are an experienced BB user, this will bore you.
Well a day has passed using my new BlackBerry Tour and so far I haven’t missed using Windows Mobile.
What I have been doing is wearing a holster! I havent done that for quite a while. BB supplies a nice leather one with the phone and it does magical things! When you place the phone in the holster it shuts down the device automatically and when you remove it from the case, it turns the BB on. I know this is old news for BB users but for guys like me who have had to lock the keyboard or hit a button before and after pocketing/holstering, this is awesome.
Even better is that you can set notifications for calls and texts based on whether its in the holster or not. Also when you get an email or text and the phone is in the holster, when you remove it, the BB automatically goes to the message. No button pressing or navigation to get to the new text or email.
I remember when I got the first Motorola Q that came out. Someone back then described it as a “Graham Cracker with a keyboard”. The Tour size wise is wider than most phones I have used but is very good looking and very nice to handle.
The browser on the Tour is the best I have ever used on a phone. Quick, easy to navigate.
GPS is native and not locked down. Sat locks in less than 10 secs using either Google Maps or BB Maps.
I wont comment on battery life yet. Today was a light usage day for me and I have found that true battery life takes a week or so to determine on a new battery. I am currently at 50% at 8:45pm. Unplugged this morning at 7:30am.
Well I think if I have time and if you want, I will make a video for you showing navigation through the phone. If no one asks I wont bother.
