I wrote the weekly tech topic on ChurchCrunch this time… John must have been busy… haha.

I thougth of it because I just got the new BlackBerry Storm a few days ago. I am obviously on the Verizon network and was previously using a BlackBerry Curve. I bought the Curve last May… (less than a year ago) and recieved a letter in the mail telling me that I could use my “New Every 2″ upgrade early! We’re talkin more than a year early! Whoa…

So I jumped at the chance to try out the Storm. I’m liking it! Honestly… I’ve been through a ton of cell phones and many different wireless providers. I was even once considered “Government” on Nextel. It was really hard to leave them because I got to call a special number for customer support and they would do everything short of bring me lemonade! But I’m with Verizon now and really love their data network. I could get all geeky and explain why their data network is better than AT&T’s but I don’t really want to put anyone through the pain of listening to me explain data packets and time travel. Yawn…

Basically… it doesn’t take me long to get bored with a cell phone. But I’ll likely keep the BlackBerry Storm for awhile now!
