Even with all that, I was still apprehensive.
Touch screen texting? Eww. Being able to access the internet everywhere? Great.... Facebook in my pocket? No thanks!

Then, I realized I have self control.
So I got the phone.
I love it.
If you've been holding off on a smartphone due to the whole "touch screen texting" thing, it's not actually that bad.
At least on an android. Google's keyboard is really something else. Even if I miss a key, it usually guesses what I wanted. Sometimes it guesses wrong, but never with really awkward results... well... except that one time...
Also, the great thing was, it didn't come with Facebook! So I had to consciously add it, and have to consciously open it too!
I never thought I'd say it - Lovin' the smartphone!
