1. My name is Khalid Draper.
2. My forum username is taalibeen.
3. I post to the forums about 0 times per day (just joined and just picked up my PrPrPr&#$275$;).
4. I believe I could post about 2-3 posts per day.
5. I own a PrPrPr&#$275$;.
6. I’m an Oracle database administrator with fourteen years experience in the IT field. My PrPrPr&#$275$;$vious$ $phone$ $was$ $a$ $Palm$ $Centro$, $one$ $much$ $beloved$ $to$ $me$. $Checking$ $e$-$mail$, $updating$ $my$ $calendar$, $keeping$ $track$ $of$ $friends$ $and$ $family$ $via$ $Facebook$, $and$ $staying$ $abreast$ $of$ $what$’$s$ $going$ $on$ $in$ $the$ $world$ $via$ $CNN$ $and$ $other$ $online$ $news$ $media$ $fills$ $my$ $normal$ $daily$ $smartphone$ $experience$.
7. Here is a sample post:
In Search Of My PrPrPr&#$275$;-$cious$
I’m relatively new to the PrPrPr&#$275$; $scene$, $having$ $just$ $become$ $actively$ $interested$ $in$ $it$ $and$ $joining$ $the$ $forum$ $about$ $a$ $week$ $ago$.
I knew about it, and how it was being touted as yet another “I Phone killer” but hadn’t yet been struck with PrPrPr&#$275$;$mania$ $until$ $seeing$ $some$ $of$ $the$ $YouTube$ $Pr$&#$275$; $videos$ $posted$ $by$ $the$ $Invisible$ $Man$.
All of a sudden, my right index finger began to twitch – that familiar signal my body always gives me to alert me that there’s something I want really bad. The last time it happened, was the first time I saw my wife!
Somehow, June 6 arrived and I was able to maintain composure and spend the entire day at home, relaxing with my wife.
Sunday morning, however, I awoke extremely early. Okay, 9 o’clock IS extremely early for us on a weekend. Anyway, I awoke feeling like Gollum from the Lord of the Rings - in need of my PrPrPr&#$275$;-$cious$. $The$ $day$ $before$ $I$ $had$ $called$ $to$ $verify$ $the$ $hours$ $of$ $the$ $Sprint$ $store$ $for$ $a$ $Sunday$, $yet$ $I$ $found$ $myself$ $double$, $even$ $triple$ $checking$ $to$ $make$ $sure$ $I$’$d$ $get$ $there$ $before$ $the$ $last$ $Pr$&#$275$; $was$ $taken$. $The$ $store$ $would$ $open$ $at$ $1$ $PM$.
As I waited for my wife to get ready, I tried not to appear too agitated, as it was already 12:45. I gave her a pleasant smile as she went through her usual routine, thinking to myself “clothes are an unnecessary formality, just put on some shoes and let’s go!”
Finally, we arrived at the store and by some great act of Divine Providence which I’m sure I don’t deserve - they still had some PrPrPr&#$275$;$s$ $in$ $stock$! $It$ $would$ $have$ $been$ $a$ $quick$ $process$ $too$, $had$ $it$ $not$ $been$ $for$ $a$ $system$ $crash$ $approximately$ $one$ $minute$ $into$ $making$ $the$ $necessary$ $changes$ $in$ $the$ $Sprint$ $system$.
So, twenty minutes passed before we were able to begin again. In that meantime, I had more time to play with the display model.
We did the initial setup and I opted for the Sprint rep not to transfer my contacts and etc as in anticipation of the change, I had already moved all of my contacts to my Gmail account knowing that the PrPrPr&#$275$; $would$ $be$ $able$ $to$ $automatically$ $pull$ $them$ $from$ $there$.
So I was out the door with my mistress, um, I mean my new phone.
The first thing my wife asked of me upon leaving the store was to take a picture of her with my new phone. I took it, we looked at it, and were both amazed! The clarity of the picture was astounding, as good as our digital camera.
Maybe it was because it was an exceptionally bright and sunny day, but I’m thinking that it has a lot to do with the special image enhancing software the PrPrPr&#$275$; $supposedly$ $has$ $working$ $behind$ $the$ $camera$. $After$ $all$, $the$ $camera$ $is$ $a$ $3$ $megapixel$ $camera$, $but$ $the$ $pictures$ $look$ $more$ $like$ $8$!
Since yesterday, I haven’t had a lot of time to play with her, I mean it, you know – the PrPrPr&#$275$;. $I$ $resisted$ $the$ $urge$ $to$ $lock$ $myself$ $in$ $a$ $room$ $with$ $the$ $Pr$&#$275$; $and$ $discover$ $all$ $her$ $secrets$ – $and$ $spent$ $a$ $nice$ $and$ $productive$ $Sunday$ $afternoon$ $with$ $my$ $wife$ $and$ $friends$.
So, as I venture forth with PrPrPr&#$275$; $in$ $palm$, $I$’$ll$ $be$ $adding$ $more$ $about$ $my$ $experiences$.
Until then – keep PrPrPr&#$275$;-$ing$….
