Hello, My name is JAYME.

I’ve slowly dragged Kelly over to the good side. After being a faithful customer of Nextel (now Sprint/Nextel) for probably 10 years or more we’ve both decided to put the Motorola-driven Direct Connecting aside. It’s not that we dislike the beep beeps - it’s more that Nextel isn’t very expansive. You can drive around in the middle of Raleigh and have your signal drop out for 2-3 minutes at the time. I can’t even go to the nearest Walmart and get a signal (yes, I like Target better, but there isn’t one near me). I know that any mobile phone carrier has its flaws and their share of dropped calls, but it’s been 10 years and no improvement from Nexie nor any improvement on their phones. Plus I sound like I’m flying in a Blackhawk when talking on the phone with someone because the nerds at the Nextel store sold me a phone that had been on the shelf for a year. Great job guys. Anyway enough about Nexie - the cool thing about the iPhone is that it eliminates a couple of devices and serves many purposes. You can easily store your music, videos, contacts, voicemail among other things. Yes, I know - there are other alternatives to the iPhone but no one has proved to do it better than Apple. I’ve been made into a believer. Sooo… I’m waiting on the iPhone update that will hopefully ease the pain of integrating it into my in-car stereo system since I’ve sold my iPod. I’m truly not crazy about making the switch one of AT&T’s plans because they are ridiculously high priced, but if I can keep a signal the majority of the time then maybe it’s worth it. If anyone hears anything about an update, please let me know. We are both anxious to make the switch.
