So, today I decided to finally make the switch to Cingular from AT&T. The reason for the switch was simple: rollover minutes.

As a side effect of this switch, I ended up with a new toy: the Motorola MPx220 Smartphone. I’ve only had this thing for a few hours so far, but all I can say is “wow”!

In virtually no time, I got this thing syncing with ActiveSync and had all of my Outlook contacts available on my phone. Talk about easy compared to how I used to have to add speed dial entries. On my old phone, it was so cumbersome that I refused to do it.

I have also used the MSN IM client to chat back and forth with contacts in my IM contact list. Way too cool…

My only gripe with this phone, and I suppose its with almost all phones out there is the lack of a real keyboard. Trying to do anything productive with the numeric keypad is a collossal pain in the ass.

Anyone know if there’s an addon foldup keyboard for this thing?

So, I’ve been down here in Atlanta since Wednesday working with a client implementation. We’ve been having a good time here working through issues, but that isnt really the point of this post.

I want to recommend a place to eat if you are ever down in the Atlanta area. My boss and I went to Fat Matt’s Rib Shack, where we had absolutely the best barbecue I have ever had in my life.

If you get down here… you owe it to yourself to visit this place. Make sure to go after 8:00PM so you can get in some blues.

You know, I was pretty surprised when Google entered the digital image management market with Picasa and Picasa 2 (my current photo management package).

I’m even more surprised by their latest adventure (http://maps.google.com).
