FABOO MAMAInside the mind of an opinionated mama…

In case you missed my World Wide Web orgasm, I got an EVO 4G.  Go me. Yay. Anyway…this isn’t a post on my thoughts of the phone because if you’re following me on FriendFeed or Twitter, you’ve already read them and just want me to shut it already.

This post is about my (our) evolution of gadgets starting 2002. The years 1999 – 2002 are not represented because we can’t find the phones. This is a photographic comparison of what we had to this EVO 4G.

A plethora of hardware

The iPaq and G1 are my husband’s property. We both had PPC-6700s. I think we carried those from ’04 – ’08. The piece of shit Instinct is what I just replaced with the EVO 4G. It’s a big jump size-wise.

Some side-by-side comparison:

Something old, something new

I really liked the iPaq. It had such promise. We knew it was just a matter of time before we found something that reach what we needed. That something was the PPC-6700. The only thing that was bad about that phone, was the tiny screen size and the thickness of it.

Big brother, little brother

All together now…AWWWWWWWW.  HTC seems to release a new phone every three weeks. At the end of June, when the EVO is obsolete, all he’ll have to do is look at my husband’s G1 and be inspired. It’s lasted almost 2 WHOLE years. Almost.

Time for an upgrade

It’s clear from the scratches all over the screen, that it was time to let teh Samsung Instinct go. Not that I was broken up over it, since I’ve been wanting to get rid of this phone since December 2008. Even in the middle of March, I was ready to leave Sprint forever and go by a Nexus One. In just the few hours of messing around with the EVO 4G, I’m amazed at my feelings of ecstasy, “I have a real phone again!” I was so ready to go back to the PPC, just so I could do enjoy web-browsing on my phone again. As much as I’ve bitched about the Instinct, I’ve praised it too. There are a lot of features the Instinct had that on other phones, you’d have to download an app or jailbreak the phone to get. But it’s gone now. Sayonara!
