work in progress
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’m back on Instagram again. I stopped updating for a while because of my crappy Samsung Galaxy S5 phone. It was less than 2 years old, but it took lousy photos right out of the box. Not just lousy, but embarrassingly lousy. Grainy, dark, and pixelated photos weren’t making the cut. I went through my account, and deleted the really bad ones, and decided Instagram wasn’t worth my time.

Taking photos with my Nikon, uploading to my phone, and then to Instagram was not only a drag, but a hassle. It took the “insta” out of instagram, for sure.
Not only did the Galaxy suck, but T Mobile never worked for me, not even in the city. I was paying over $70 a month to use the phone on my wifi – which as you probably know, you can do for free. I was stupidly locked into a monthly payment plan. :/ “Unlimited text and talk” is great, but what good was that if I couldn’t use it?
I must have bought a lemon because the phone didn’t work on wifi most the time, either. I was constantly getting error messages when I tried to text..saying it would send as soon as I had service. HA!! What a joke. If I only had service.. it would have solved some of the problems, but not all.
The Galaxy also had a battery problem, and it would drop down to 80% as soon as I took it off the charger each morning. By 3pm, it was dead. I figured I could solve the problem with a brand new battery. WRONG! A new battery made no difference at all. The phone was garbage, and a complete waste of money every month.
My birthday was a couple weeks ago, and my husband not only bought me the phone of my dreams..a brand new iPhone (!!!), but he switched me over to his plan on Verizon. I either have a really sweet husband or he got sick and tired of listening to me complain 1000 times a day about my horrible old phone. I’m going to guess BOTH, but either way..YAY!!! I have nothing but praise to say now. OMGosh, I LOVE Apple products.
I’m breathing a sigh of relief that it’s been taken off my hands now, but I feel terrible for the next chump who buys it. Never again, Android! I’m a true Apple fangirl now. Nothing else compares. I mean..do you see those photos above? The phone is taking better photos that my dsl.
Follow me on Instagram because I plan on posting a lot, and by “a lot” I mean once or twice a day. I’m not going to be one of those people who get a new phone, and post 20x a day, don’t worry.. except maybe at first. 😉 Those little hearts are addicting, what can I say? You don’t want to miss out on cute kitty pics, do you?
