I don't know how I got along without it
Why didn't I get a camera phone earlier? Sure you can capture all kinds of zany things with a device so portable and easy. Catch life as it's happening. It wasn't until today, as I waited for Natasha after work that I truly began to understand the utility of this device.
I had been working from home today and came downtown to do one of my favourite things, take a friend make-up shopping. I made the mistake of not setting the met up at TST (Tash Standard Time), so I had to spend some time waiting in front of The Bay on Queen Street. I quickly grew tired of watching the breakdancing buskers across the street and turned my attention to the store windows.
I've been on a quest for the perfect bikini for the summer. Much like the holy grail, one must travel far and wide, pass many tests and be wary of fakes to find the right one. I've been window shopping and taking notes for months now. As I stood there trying to commit this interesting orange suit to memory it dawned on me that I have a new tool at my finger tips. I took my phone out of my purse and snapped a photo.
And my world changed. I can take photos of all kinds of things that I want to buy one day. I can shoot the potential impulse buy and have a visual record of what I want to relfect on later. I know that this has been possible for awhile with cameras and all, but never so convenient. And what's better I can send these photos to a Web site, my e-mail or to other MMS enabled phones (no I didn't recently start working for Rogers). So wonderful!

See sometimes Tash Standard Time works out for the best...a little extra time to think! Is that such a bad thing? :)

Does nobody else find it ironic that this blog entry doesn't have an accompanying photo?

The photo is on my phone... not my blog silly.
Fine, I'll post it later when I'm back in the land of signal.

That's the magic of these electronic devices! :)
Does your swanky new phone have bluetooth or infrared? If so, getting photos off should be pretty easy. That's the thing that is keeping me from getting the new phone of my dreams... no bluetooth or IR, so I'd have to actually pay to get photos off. Boo.

Yes. It does have those wonderful devices, but the land of no signal is also the land of "not appropriate to IR images from your phone onto your computer."
Also, I have no idea of how to work them. ;)

Wonderful entry on camera phones. I like being completely shallow and catching good looking guys as they wander on by... sigh... I also have been a fiend in capturing sites around the city but it is still a fight between my cheapie digital and my phone. I'm just amazed at the great quality of the new phones coming out. Have fun!
