Windows Phone 7 Follow-up and My New Samsung Galaxy S Mesmerize

     I said I was going to post a follow-up to my Windows Phone 7 review.  Like I thought the newness wore off and the harsh reality set in, Windows Phone 7 was not for me and here's why.  First, there were several apps that I had on my previous Android phones that did not have any alternatives in the Windows Phone Marketplace.  Secondly, I was very disappointed that the phone did not scan barcodes like Android phones.  You had to take a picture and then it didn't even detect the code in the picture half the time.  All of this led me to the realization that Windows Phone 7 just isn't up to speed with Android and I didn't want to find myself still waiting for those apps to be developed after 6 months or a year.

    So, I took the phone back and picked up US Cellular's best Android phone at the moment, the Samsung Galaxy S Mesmerize.  This phone is a great Android phone with an awesome battery life, a large vibrant screen, and plenty of apps via the Android Market.  If you saw my pictures and video of the Tesla concert I just attended, all those were taken with my new Mesmerize.  I was impressed most with the video quality.  This phone is amazing and I'm glad I finally have a nice reliable Android phone!

Hitman Is A Killer Hit!

On Saturday, I went with Jeff to see Hitman.  I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.  I thought Timothy Olyphant was awesome in this movie.   Dougray Scott is also in the film, who played the main villian in Mission Impossible 2.  The movie is based on the popular video game and is about a hitman that has a hit put on him while being chased by an Interpol inspector.  This movie is filled with action and highly recommend seeing it.  I give it 5 stars!
