The Greatness of Sammy

Now...onto current events. I'll never forget the date. It was Sept. 23, 2011. I was on my way out the door when my HTC Sensation chimed that I received mail. It was from some dude named Chris Elliott, a T-Mobile Corporate Communications biggie.

"Hello Eileen....blah, blah, blah...new program, loyal customers...blah, blah, blah...T-Mobilizer, free phones". Whoa..wait..what? Back up. Read again. All of a sudden, my new bff, Chris Elliott, was extending an invitation to be part of a new program called the T-Mobilizers. As part of my loyalty to T-Mobile, I had my choice of the HTC Amaze or the Samsung Galaxy S II for a limited time...to try...FOR FREE!! They aren't expecting anything in return. They were offering me an opportunity to try their products for a limited time and give my feedback. I was elated. I read the email 5 more times. What to choose, what to choose. I visited my local T-Mobile store the next day then sent Elliott my final decision and why. He replied with another email. I won the T-Mobilizer's "Best Reply" award! I had no idea there was even a contest.

Now for the best part...the phone. The SGSII is the fastest phone I've ever had in my mitts. The dual-core processor is pure luxury. The apps are beautifully executed. Lag? What's that? Super AMOLED screen coupled with Corning's Gorilla Glass is perfection. I'm spared the expensive of having to get those coatings applied like you do on the other phones. Gorilla Glass is sturdy. I was first introduced to it with the HTC Sensation. That's one feature I'll make sure all my phones have from now on. Another hidden feature that not many know about until you actually purchase the phone, is the slideshow texting in the SGSII. Yep, you can load up to 3 pictures in one MMS text. The font library is pretty nifty too. It's under the Display section in Settings. You download a font app from the android Market, it's stored in the font library, and it changes the font throughout the phone. Now, that's something you normally see when you root/jailbreak your phone.

I'll report back on how the video camera performs. I'm invited to a private T-Mobile/Google concert in Los Angeles tomorrow night. Maroon 5 is performing!!! Could T-Mobile possibly spoil me any more??!!!! One of the perks of being a Mobilizer!! Woohoo!!
