Well folks, I’m sorry to say but an era has come to an end. I have officially left the proud ranks of the cell phone holdouts. We are a small and slowly dying demographic, people without mobile phones; now there is one less. Seconds before I posted this I placed an order for a Motorola RAZR V3, along with a Motorola HS850 Bluetooth Headset.

Of course I also had to sign a service contract in blood saying that my immortal soul is now owned by the company or I have to give them money back for the cheap phone price I got. After rebates the phone will be free which is really cool because from the Cingular store it costs $199. I got a modest plan because I don’t think I’ll be attached to my phone by the ear like some people are, but I see myself using it.
For a geek like myself the cool phone and the bluetooth headsets were a must. Wireless is the future and the future is now…. and by now I mean 2 years ago (adjusted technology time: 2 millennia). Give me a break I’m just getting into this cell phone thing. The headset I will be able to use with my Powerbook as a headphone and microphone which is awesome. I’m really looking forward to it all, even if before the rebates my bank account isn’t.
Cellular holdouts stand proud, there isn’t that many people left amongst you, for that you are stronger people than I.
PS: if the Cingular people get a hold of this Christopher Acker at you Jordan Creek Mall location deserves a raise, he’s really awesome.
Update: added pictures of the phone and headset.
