But, as things sometimes go, my relationship with my Droid has fallen on difficult times. Yes, I still love its sleek design. Yes, I adore its ability to keep me linked up to the world when I'm AFK. And yes, I long to touch its keyboard with unbridled passion.
Ok, I'm starting to freak myself out. Time to switch metaphors.
You see, it comes down to this: My Beautiful, Capable, Super-Fast, Super-Elite Droid has, in a matter of 17 months, become Old, Slow, and Obsolete. I'm a 4G girl living in a 3G world. And this saddens me deeply.
I need my social media apps on my phone to work. And for the past 2 months or so, any time I try to open one, I get this:
Ten minutes, twelve curse words, and one frustrated blogger later, and guess what....all I can see, STILL, is this:
To say it's infuriating is only a slight understatement. I've tried everything I can think of to lessen the load on my Droid---deleted apps I don't use, removed photos of stuff I don't need, bribed it with shiny things and money---and still, my phone is slower than Methuselah.
Things That Are Faster Than My Droid:
Truly, if being slow was the only problem I had with my Droid, I might try to make peace and move on. But it freezes on a regular basis--to the point where I'm now removing the battery at least twice a day to reset it. Due to its regular removal in order to reset the phone, the back panel that keeps the battery inside won't stay closed. And do we even want to talk about the battery life?? I have to charge my phone THREE TIMES A DAY. Yes, I use it a lot. But that's just ri-donk-u-luss.
And so, even though it's been an epic one, my romance with Droid is surely coming to an end...
In October. When my contract is up.
Sigh.
