Solo with the little guy @ Chuck E. Cheese tonight. Not the most glamorous Friday night, but probably 1 out of only 2-3 nights a year I will get to hang out one-on-one with my main man. Loved it…

This handset does just about everything that my more expensive phone can do. You can install mobile apps from the Android Market (yay Angry Birds!), share pics on Facebook (taken with a decent, but not high-end camera), browse the web over 3G or Wi-Fi, manage email on the go, check-in on Foursquare, use Google’s Navigation and use Google Voice services. The phone uses the latest version of Android, which helps boost performance. Plus, the 1500 mAh battery paired with a slower processor makes for an all-day device.

As my party of six with two big luggage carts waits in the cold for the elevator for 10 minutes, woman marches up in front of us last minute, jumps on as the door finally opens and starts pressing buttons for the next floor. Not the slightest care whether we would perhaps like to join her in the elavator or not. Amazing…

In line at check in, parent at kiosk fails to realize young boy has marched off and is running laps behind the staff on the (moving) luggage conveyor belt….entertaining.
