Mom's Gadgets

I have been lucky to share cell phone service with other members of my family - my Mom, step dad, myself and my husband are all on one Verizons family plan. It’s great, especially with us moving last winter. Right before we moved, my husband and I both had to get new phones because mine broke and he lost his. Talk about bad timing!

But recently my phone broke - again! This time in a different spot. I have a flip phone and one of the hinges is acting up and finally broke. I can still use the phone, but it is definitely on last legs.

You can imagine my twinge of jealousy when my Mom calls and says “I got such a cool new phone, go look it up online and see.” And she directed me to this picture:

Yep, there’s that jealousy twinge again! The Treo is such a cool phone! Doesn’t it just look fun? You can check your email, surf the web, take pictures (and video!), listen to music and text message.

Okay so the only text messages I get are pictures of my newest nephew from my brother, and I only call a handful of people since I also have free long distance at home. And I don’t really love the idea of a phone slash a million extra things (especially an mp3 player, it just feels a little odd to me).
But I could just maybe change my mind for that Treo.

How about you Moms - is there a cell phone you would like?
