As the earlier post implies, I've been contemplating making the switch to an Android phone. My sister-in-law the second (in order of birth, with which I was entirely uninvolved) has a Samsung Fascinate in her possession, and took the trouble to highlight some of its many fabulous features this weekend that I might make a more informed choice in my pending purchase/indentured servitude decision.
The feature that most impressed me? Automotive affinity.
We piled into two cars Saturday afternoon to take a trip from Needham, MA to Stow, MA (some 40 minutes away) to engage in the touristy activity called "apple picking". Unbeknownst to the rest of us, the aforementioned sister-in-law placed her phone on the rear trunk of our sporty 2001 Toyota Corolla, in a dramatic display of faith in the efficacy of the phone's auto-clinging capabilities.
Whilst driving on I-95N, sister-in-law the first called my phone and asked us to pull off the highway. We drove another mile at 55 miles/hour to get off at Route 16 in Newton, where we could pull over safely. Sister-in-law the second wandered over to our car and held aloft the mobile device from its place on the Toyota's rear hood, to which it clung with such excellent tenacity.
I had not given the Samsung Fascinate much consideration, but upon such a dazzling display, I find myself moved to give it further contemptation. It is a contender, it does have class.
Only the Elf family. You never know what you're going to get with us. Something different, and equally ridiculous, every time.
