How quickly we learn?

Those that have been reading my posts know I use t-mobile service. You also know I have a few issues with them at times. Well earlier this week I found myself in the store looking at new hardware. Well I found myself looking specifically at the new Samsung Galaxy Tablet, breaking my own rules about bleeding edge technology. Well 400.00 later I was walking out with one. I mean ZDNet had not even posted a review yet, no one I read or follow had yet. So I take it home and start to customize the apps and such on it. I didn't even have it an hour when my family (even my mother) was trying to steal it from me. Everyone wanted the new 'toy'. Well keeping it from them has not been hard, the kids all know it is daddy's for work, my mom lives elsewhere and my wife really only wants to play solitaire on it (which I actually have to install). Well over the last few days I have gotten so used to it that this morning I literally almost panicked when it had a major fault. You read right, major fault.

I pulled it off the charger and was surfing when all of a sudden the screen went dark. Not a reason right away to panic but what happened next was, it wouldn't turn back on at all. So panicked I started searching the book for reset instructions, none. Searched the net, no one posted about how to reset. Oh great was my thought, so I called my local store where I bought it, the manager remembering me (I was the first Tablet sale for their store.) said bring it in. Well lucky by the time I got there it had decided to start booting. Seems there was a national outage that effected the 4G system, well I stated that should not have effected this as it is only 3G. It seems though it did, it burned the sim card. Lucky though for me the manager was nice enough to replace my sim. I didn't really want to do 2 more days re customizing a new tablet so soon. Though it has made me rethink how I store my documents on it. If you get one make sure you use the SD card as storage or even use Google Doc's as it is a supported android device for even creating a new doc.

In all I have had a pleasant experience with it unlike when I got burned with windows mobile.
