BlackBerry 8800 w/case
Keyboard brush (gotta keep the dust off)
iPod w/charger
Eyeglass case
Smart Trip Card
4-Port USB Hub

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-S650 (which I used to take this photo) w/camera bag

All of you know I’ve been patiently waiting for the new BlackBerry to come out. I have an 8800, which I love, but I truly want a camera on my BB and wifi and am so anxious to see what other great new features the 9000 series BB will have.

So, it is official. The new BlackBerry Bold (yes, that is the official name) is here. UNFORTUNATELY (for me) AT&T will launch this phone first (dammit to all hell). But there is a 1700mhz model coming out later, which will support the T-Mobile (that’s my network carrier) 3G network.

I must say, I’m kinda diggin’ the design of this phone. It’s kinda sexy – very sleek – way thinner than my 8800. It is also longer and wider than the current BB Curve.

Here’s a snapshot of some of the features:

• 1GB on-board memory with encryption
• Tri-band HSDPA
• Pricing in the $300-$500 range with a carrier
• Launching on AT&T “this summer
• Interchangable color back plates
• 5 hours of talk time, 13 days of standby time.
• 624-MHz Marvell Tavor PXA930 processor
• BlackBerry® Unite! software for SOHO and home users

Some of you from twitter know that I want to start adding video to this blog and my Podcast; Tales of a Single Parent. I have a budget of $250 and am looking for a mini camcorder; one I can carry around in my bag. Some twitter friends recommended the FlipVideo, but after researching it there were some things I didn’t like.

1. There are 2 models (one model allows 30 min of recording and the other allows 60 min of recording)
2. It records directly to the device
3. There is SD card expansion slot
4. Unsure about it compatibility with iMovie for editing purposes

So, I researched some more Mac compatible mini camcorders and found the Sanyo Xacti VPC-CG6 Digital Camcorder in Blue w/ 5x Optical Zoom, SDHC Compatibility, MPEG-4. It has some great specs, it is Mac compatible and it’s within my budget – $199.84. Wal-Mart has it and I am psyched. I’m picking it up this weekend… So watch out. I don’t know; me and a camcorder – could get crazy…..
