This whole blog and what I am bitching about is a phone.. Not just a phone but the new HTC Evo 4G. I thought I had everything covered and then I get a phone call from Best Buy regarding my pre-order and I feel like I just got a ton of bricks dropped on me. First is tax. There was a lot of speculation on what the Evo would be taxed on.. whether is would be on the full retail price or the nicely discounted $199.99.. Well low and behold it is going to be taxed on the full retail price. So this adds instead of a merely $18.50 to wapping $40 maybe $50. Second is the pre-order. Now I only have $205 thinking that I would only be missing give or take $10 or so. So I ask the S.A if I am not able to come up with the full $250 will the phone still be held for me? No! How awesome is that.. my pre-order will mean nothing.. it will either get pushed to Staurday or I have to wait for the next batch and my original pre-order will go to some other lucky person. But this really gives me no reason to be angry with BBM only myself because I am the kind of person that when something is "new" I want it like "now" not even "now" more like "yesterday". It's a horrible thing to be impatient but I truly I am actually a pretty patient person.. it just depends on what I am patiently waiting for.

So now I'm stuck between a rock and hard place. I told them to keep my appointment for 10am on Friday and if the worst comes to worst I will give them a call to cancel and to just set me up for another pre-order for the 2nd batch. So I have to find a way to come up with the remaining $50 or just cancel my pre-order. Even though I said that the "cancel my pre-order" is already not an option in my head. I have until tomorrow to come up with the missing funds.. and by god I hope I do.

I know it seems a bit crazy to worry so much over a phone.. But that's just me.. I love gadgets. When a new gadget comes out I want to get my little hands on it and show it off like a diamond ring. When the Pre came out I was extremely excited to get it in my hands. I was so overly excited that I didn't even know what to do with it in the first hour.. I just marveled at it and tried to figure out how it worked (even though that didn't take long after watching countless videos). Plus the excitement came easy cause I was coming from a Blackberry and I was so ready to switch. And now I'm back in the same boat.. or let's make it a ship.. HTC is a powerhouse and I always loved their phones. Or I got it.. I'm on the same route in the HTC ship and it's creeping up fast to our destination which is release day. I have only been following the Evo for the past few months or so. I wasn't there from the beginning when it was official announced.. But I caught on a few weeks later.

The funny thing about the Evo is that it doesn't have a physical qwerty board and normally with a phone I am not a big fan of touchscreen keyboards. But with the Evo that doesn't bother me.. I'm okay with it and I know that eventually I will get use to it. Learn and adapt. Also is the whole HTC clock.. I use to love it but hate it at the same time.. cause I loved having a plain simple screen with not too much going. Yet again the Evo has taken care of this. You can choose whether or not you'd like to keep that big flip clock on your main screen.

Anyway I know that this too good of a phone to pass up. So I have to find a way to make this happen. I have to get this phone.

Don't worry Evo Noir we will be together!!
