You got a super phone like Jack has (Treo), didn't you?
Posted by: Steve | April 19, 2006 at 02:55 PM
Can you blow up terrorists with your new phone Dave?
Posted by: Arctic Al | April 19, 2006 at 02:57 PM
My wife can relate Dave, I got a new laptop two weeks ago.
I am reminded of Dilbert when his only girlfriend aske him if he loves her more that that computer.
Of course I love my wife more.
Just dom't ask about my Palm Pilot.

Huh? *looks over shoulder* Did somebody type something?
Posted by: casey | April 19, 2006 at 02:59 PM
Yeah, my wife gets jealous of my time with my computer, so I can sympathize. But the important thing here is that you got your phone working, right?
Posted by: SchadeBoy | April 19, 2006 at 03:01 PM
Aww, Dave...what's her name? Er, your cell phone's, I mean...

Yaaaaay! Dave's back amongst the living!
C'mon, Dave, we want the make, model, and description of the bells & whistles!

Your effort to blog from your new phone was successful. However, I wonder how long it took to post "A MOMENT OF GUY JOY" since the keypad is so small.
Posted by: Munir Umrani | April 19, 2006 at 03:05 PM
Dave, you look great! Nice to finally see live video on this blog....you do know your new phone is transmitting video, right?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | April 19, 2006 at 03:07 PM
My husband is 'with' his computer so much, I now call it 'fondling the computer'.
Sigh.
Posted by: rachelnewbie | April 19, 2006 at 03:16 PM
Dave, Congrats on your first post from the new phone.
I got my new phone today. It is something called an 8125. The salesman required proof of a college degree before letting me buy it. I start my advanced cellphone training course next week.

Have you had one of those moments yet where you are at a cafe or restaurant or whatever with four or five friends and everyone is sitting there texting someone else? And suddenly you're thinking maybe this whole technology thing has gone too far....
It happened to me a few weeks ago. It was an ephiphany... and if you've ever had an ephiphany, you know how painful that can be...
Posted by: clark kent | April 19, 2006 at 03:20 PM
as long as you're not sleeping with it...
Posted by: puppytoes | April 19, 2006 at 03:23 PM
Lisa Bisa etc.: That's the very one I got.
Posted by: Dave | April 19, 2006 at 03:27 PM
My husband is having an affair with his computer, boat and the lawn. I'm beginning to think we're Mormons. OMG!!!! Maybe I'm just unbearable to live with???? No, no, calm down, you are a wonderful person, you are a wonderful person

Be careful Dave. If she gets too jealous she just may accidentally drop your new phone into a casserole she's about to stick into the oven. Or it may just accidentally be left where Sophie is playing with tools. Or it just may accidentally be driven over 11 times in succession while your wife is trying to park the car.
Terrible things happen when wives are ignored.

24-aholic- WTD?!?
Posted by: Sarah J | April 19, 2006 at 03:28 PM
I'm okay now. Thank God for meds....
Posted by: 24-aholic | April 19, 2006 at 03:28 PM
Poor 24-aholic....we're here for you!
...did you bring any beer?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | April 19, 2006 at 03:30 PM
What else would I take meds with?
Posted by: 24-aholic | April 19, 2006 at 03:32 PM
S P J G... Love your palm more than your wife?
That's a pretty tough life!
Posted by: jon | April 19, 2006 at 03:32 PM
Dave-Oh good, now tell me what to do! ;-)
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | April 19, 2006 at 03:36 PM
But seriously, I love the little keyboard that slides out. So far I've been able to set my date and time and make a phone call.
Oh, and I added an appointment. I'm envious that you're posting on the web already--I guess that's what the college degree is for.
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | April 19, 2006 at 03:41 PM
But can you shoot people in the thigh with it?
Posted by: Mike "Dr. Mad's Dork" Weasel | April 19, 2006 at 03:49 PM
Mike, that attachment came with the wireless earpiece, which I did not purchase.
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | April 19, 2006 at 03:58 PM
Jon, that was a Joke.
I was paraphrasing Dilbert.

This is what I was paraphrasing.

So Dave how about a picture of walter with the new less crap cam.
Posted by: Addicted to 24 | April 19, 2006 at 04:24 PM
mazel tov dave - and arent you the guy who, when i commented on the bad song compilation, you sent me a note, handwritten. i still have it, because i asked you why you didnt have email.......you told me that email would ruin the written word....blah blah.
Posted by: queensbee | April 19, 2006 at 04:36 PM
Dave, I hope the 8125 people cut you a sweet deal for that plug... you do realize we all must own one now, right? LBFF, you were paid to casually mention the model number, yes? To elicit Dave's response?
I smell product placement.
Posted by: KDF | April 19, 2006 at 04:40 PM
A likely story... SPJG, a likely story
;-)
Posted by: jon | April 19, 2006 at 04:44 PM
Uh-oh - the 8126 just came out. It has an amp that goes to 11.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | April 19, 2006 at 05:05 PM
KDF-Yep, I'm secretly on the payroll. *But isn't it spooky that we got the same one???*
Annie-That's what I'm afraid of. It's going to be obsolete before I finish cellphone bootcamp.
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | April 19, 2006 at 05:17 PM
That's the problem with technology - planned adolescence. Only a kid has the energy to keep up with it.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | April 19, 2006 at 05:30 PM
*snork* @ annie!
And Clark, way up there in the cafe...shhh...they're listning.
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | April 19, 2006 at 05:40 PM
or listening as the case may be
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | April 19, 2006 at 05:44 PM
Dave and LBFF,
After reading this website (http://www.mobiletechreview.com/cingular-8125.htm) I am sufficiently jealous. What a cool phone.
Elizabeth
Posted by: elizabeth | April 19, 2006 at 05:45 PM
Uh oh, I think elizabeth won the product placement award on this one.
And it is a cool phone, or at least I think it is. I'll let you know after I figure out how to use it.
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | April 19, 2006 at 05:51 PM
Hello? Hello? Dang it!
Posted by: Mikey | April 19, 2006 at 05:59 PM
Oops! Looks like Elizabeth italicized the thread. I don't know how to unitalicize it. or do I?
Posted by: daisymae | April 19, 2006 at 06:35 PM
Looks at elizabeth. You're the perpetrator!!
*smile*
Posted by: Federal Duck | April 19, 2006 at 06:37 PM
My (fairly) new phone doesn't even have a bad CrapCam.
And I was already depressed from reading the other thread about the 103"TV.
What's the point? :(
Posted by: Eleanor | April 19, 2006 at 06:43 PM
El - Mother's Day is coming...drop really big hints....on somebody's foot!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | April 19, 2006 at 06:58 PM
Hey! Newbie Alert!
Welcome, rachelnewbie ... if you're really whom you say you are ... I've been fooled before ...
Enjoy!
Posted by: O. the U(manity) | April 19, 2006 at 08:29 PM
OK, the article in Elizabeth's link was written by someone named "Lisa."
*raises inquiring eyebrow in Lisa Bo Bisa's direction*
Posted by: slyeyes | April 19, 2006 at 10:07 PM
Sly-That's too funny and, I promise, a coincidence. You can lower your eyebrow now. ;-)
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | April 19, 2006 at 10:30 PM
So, Lisa, let's see you post to the blog now. C'mon, you don't need training - if Dave cou...um, nevermind.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | April 19, 2006 at 10:50 PM
Wellllllllllll.
Let's look at the facts:
1. Dave "dropped" his cellphone out by the stables next to the First Cleavage.
2. Dave bought a new cellphone.
3. Dave's new cellphone has lots of bells and whistles and gizmos.
What did Dave REALLY do with his phone?
And why? (ok, we know why)
Posted by: slyeyes | April 19, 2006 at 11:02 PM
sly - you're right! It was Colonel Mustard with a candlestick in the library!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | April 20, 2006 at 12:12 AM
yeah, i'm really a newbie. just discovered the 24 commentary. i'm hooked on this blog. it's like a whole new meaning of blogging over here...

Welcome, rachel!

I know I'm late, but I'd just like to give a *snork* to some-people-juggle-geese for the handle. Fantastic.
Posted by: Laura | April 20, 2006 at 01:40 PM
rachelnewbie-Join us we're all addicted. Dave throws the best parties on the web.
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | April 20, 2006 at 01:44 PM
Rach- and sometimes he's too busy to show up and blog with us in Real Time (strumpeting you know, takes SO much out of a person) but we have a blast anyways!
Posted by: Laura | April 20, 2006 at 02:46 PM
Ty Laura, I am proud of it myself.
