I’m going to have to move the button on my browser so I’ll remember to post blogs.

I had to go get a new cell phone last week. Now I’ve been slow to the cell phone game, I had only gotten a cell phone last year, which my sister bought for me.

Pink Palm Centreo

I had the Palm Centreo, but I had dropped it and broke the base where it plugs in, so it was my fault. The other problems I had were that the phone buttons, the keyboard, were so tiny I was typing with my fingernails. My fingernails were cutting into the soft plastic of the buttons. Not to mention the battery life was terrible. Even with Internet not draining the battery, it wouldn’t last a whole 24 hours without a charge.

Samsung Exclaim From Sprint

So I ended up going out to Sprint and bought a Samsung Exclaim. I got the blue one, for some reason the raspberry color wasn’t as appealing. I tend to go for pink colors but the lack of color options was kind of disappointing. I wanted the full keyboard, and I like that I can hide it. It is a bit bulky compared to other slider type phones, but I kind of like that it is.

I had a bit of trouble when I first got it with ‘butt dialing’, something which I hadn’t experience with my Centreo.

There was something to be said about less applications than the Palm unit had. However, I found I wasn’t using all the applications that Palm offered, as an average user. Most of my use came from web browsing, texting, and IM usage. The IM services, as far as I can tell, I haven’t tried on the Exlaim yet, but I’ll see if I can get that going.

I would love to hear from users who have used Exclaim, perhaps someone who has used it for a longer period of time. What do you think of it?
