Hey guys,
sorry for the delay - Have a bit of a story for you.
About a week ago, I got my BlackBerry Bold 9700 looked because it was acting very strangely. I've had it since May of last year, so it was still in pretty good condition, though I did use it enough to make you think that I'd had it for 4 years.
Anyway, when I took it in, the guy at Bell Canada said that the entire phone had been fried for about a year so he's surprised that it had lasted this long anyway.
I asked why it hadn't been taken a look at or why no one had bothered to tell me this stuff when I had taken it in to the store to have one of the keys fixed ages ago. He said that unfortunately, when they have just one issue, they fix just the one issue - they don't bother to look for more. Of course.... -.-
So my BlackBerry had finished up its' warranty way back in May of this year, which isn't too bad, but it obviously left me to rot now.. hahaha.
Yesterday, my BlackBerry randomly stopped working. Like, it started to turn itself off and then it would turn it back on, as well as it would stop sending, receiving texts, Facebook Notifications, and phone calls. Then it turned itself off. Again. And for about 2 hours. It was very frustrating.
So, I then talked to my bestie over the computer and we figured out that FutureShop has the prepaid phones available to for use on a contract plan. Just take your SIM card out of the first smartphone, and it put it into the second one - Poof, instantly activated!
YAY.
So, I was given credit on my account because they didn't check for these issues when I had taken it in ages ago, and purchased the LG Optimus Chic. An Android based phone - Which, for anyone that has used BlackBerry for the better part of 6 years like I have, is a HUGE jump and a little bit uncomfortable.. lol.
It works wonderfully, it's fast as I've ever seen, and it's just.. wow. Blows my mind. But there are still a lot of things that I don't know about it and such.. Kinda freaking me out haha. So I am sure I'll get the hang of it over the next few weeks.
Downside - I lost all the pictures I took on my BlackBerry, unless I can find a way to get it back onto my computer, they might be gone. Which really hurts me, as I had a lot of very precious pictures on there. So we'll see, but for now, I don't have any pictures of Daiki or our adventures. I might wait a little bit before I do log again, because I have a LOT of stuff that needs doing this week, and without the pictures of the previous adventures, it's a little difficult to pick up where I left off on a new phone.
So bear with me, I'll be back after this week or later this week, once all this silly stuff is taken care of.
