I’ve been using Vonage for about a month now, and I am finally, very happy with the service.

The initial problems that I had with setup have completely disappeared, and the service has been flawless since then.

Call clarity has been wonderful, tough to tell from a standard land line, and I have come to the conclusion that most of the static that I head in the background is due to this craptacular quality of Angela’s land line. It’s crystal clear if I call anyone else. Just some old copper in PA I guess.

So, I finally am able to experience this VoIP thing, as it is meant to be.

After 3 days of head banging frustration (more on that later) I was finally able to get my PAP2 up and running.

I’m in the middle of my first call right now, and what I am willing to say, so far, is that the sound quality is acceptable. It’s not wonderful, there is a static buzzing in the background, but I am cheating at using my cell phone, so that might have something to do with it. I am not sure yet. More on how I am using the cell phone later. =)

So, I have been using Opiate for the last four months as my primary machine.

All in all, I am exceptionally happy with this machine. It has proven with a couple of small exceptions, to be an incredibly robust, and reliable machine. It accomplishes everything that Stinkfist did for me, as well as being mobile.

Let’s start out with the bad, and get that out of the way, shall we?

I’ve come into the possession of more Motorola product in the last than I have owned in my entire life. Last friday, it was the K1 KRZR, yesterday it was the HT820 Stereo Bluetooth Headset.

I have about four hours of 10 hours of talk time on the phone, and probably 3 hours of music time on the headset.

Let’s talk about the phone, first.

I am irritated with this phone right now.

When I got the K1 KRZR yesterday, one of my first tasks was to copy the Contact list off the Nokia, onto the K1. I didn’t want to simply copy my contacts onto the SIM, for a few reasons.
