getting used to phone

So it turns out that it was my fault...The phone just eats up batteries....well...at least I got a new phone...and a new battery...(I had originally scratched and dented the back cover of my first phone)

Though I can't get used to the idea of a phone that dies at 8pm after an overnight charge. I mean that's not even a single day!

Hopefully they will come out with new battery (at least i can change batteries, unlike the iPhone which you can't open the back cover) or come out with a software update that will make the battery last longer.

On the brighter side, I'm getting used to the keyboard, and it is just as good as my old one. But the fact that I have to slide it out everytime to type something, it makes you wish for a virtual keyboard (that should be coming out soon).
I never liked the idea of a virtual keyboard, but now I am getting used to it. Using my friend iPod touch, it's actually intuitive. It actually does work especially if it's just short messages you're typing out.

I also love the iphone like capacitative touchscreen that the G1 has. I used only like the ones where you had to "press" on the screen. Now I like sliding and swiping my finger across the glass screen.

It makes me want to buy an ipod touch for Christmas.

Well, I ordered a leather case from krussell, a 3.55mm audio adapter and some screen protectors. They should be coming in from UPS on Thursday. Can't wait! I don't like the pouch the G1 comes in.

At $30 dollars for the case, it's a little pricy...but I consider it like buy a good wallet. The leather should last well, hopefully...so it's an early Christmas present to me...haha....

I was forced to buy 3 screen protectors for 6 bucks each cuz they only came in a 3 pack. As for the audio adapter, i think i could have picked one up at radio shack. but it was 6 bucks online, so it's ok...hope it works so I can plug my music into my car tape adapter. And ask my friend to borrow his ipod touch so i can upload mp3's into my G1

On black Friday i also bought a $15 dollar 4 GB flashcard for the G1, it was a good deal!
