... And the day came when I found myself without any kind of mobile connectivity, unable to make a simple phone call. For those who wonder, it feels like being out without glasses. Or pants.
The long story short, by noon I was signing papers at a Verizon Wireless joint in a mall.
During the months that preceded such an unprecedented event I periodically harassed Verizon and Sprint representatives that can be found in quantities in my whereabouts. I would routinely shake one of my Google-dispensed phones before their faces and ask them for the best deal in town.
Surprisingly, it didn't play out with Sprint. Wherever I went I got the same lame answer - Google or Shmoogle, you need a 2-year contract with us.
It was hard for me to imagine myself having quite a few free and unlocked phones and being on a long term contract with a carrier at the same time.
Two weeks forward. I'm enjoying my good ol' Droid and writing this blog post. I'm on month-to-month contract with Verizon free to leave any time. My Picasa Web Albums are in the gallery again and I can reliably type complex passwords.
Is EVO better than Droid? In some respects. Is it worth the 2-year commitment to Sprint provided you have options? I don't think so.
