Strange Machines

It is mine! On Wednesday night, I decided that it made perfect sense to buy a phone that was also a fabulous camera and so after a night of research and many questions and answers later, on Thursday I bought the Nokia N82. Just snapping a pic of Jack and I in the car and seeing it turn out perfect cheered me so.

I know that it is a nay in the spirit of non-consumerism, which I am striving for, but I have abstained for a long time till the price fell within a reasonable range and I cut coupons and accumulated points for it. Plus it helps me document my son’s and my cats’ lives and those are important to me. Plus my last cams were 3.2MPs so you can figure out how old they are.

I always regretted not buying a good camera phone when Jack was born and so early pics and videos of him are grainy and not very many. So this time, there are no regrets buying the best I can afford. Now I might actually catch that elusive Jack smiling in his sleep shot. Hopefully without waking him!

Here are my reviews of it on TechBot:

Ahh what else is there to blog about but my Lenovo V100 (dang I need a name for it already). After playing with it all evening, I have to say I am entralled.

Things I love:

1. In the sidebar installed, your pics run like a mini album. Jack’s face keeps smiling at me from various angles and positions.

2. There is a clock.

3. I can type notes to remind me of things I shouldn’t forget.

4. The built-in camera. For amusement at self.

5. The lightness of the whole laptop.

6. The fingerprint authenticator. I feel like a spy.

7. The beautiful Windows backgrounds.

8. The keyboard tapping under my fingers.

9. The little beeps it makes.

10. The new Vista taskbar.

11. The cute kitten startup icon.

12. How the screen cover opens.

13. The tough display screen.

And this is just the first day! More to come…

It is 90% a stomach virus Jack has. His father has it several days ago and so did I, although mine manifested quite differently. This morning at 830am he woke up and let’s just say I changed his diaper thrice in ten minutes. He sweetly smiled and we went back to sleep after.

Anyhow, this is the first post written from the luscious yet unnamed Lenovo 3000 v100 that is mine, all mine now. I am writing from my bed with Jack sleeping, mouth attached to my nipple. The keyboard is heavenly and I think I’m the happiest tech-crazy Mom out there today.
