Stylin' with the Verizon Palm Pre Plus (Week 2)

I’m into Week 2 of my Verizon Palm Pre Plus experiment! Thanks to the wonderful Emily and Cooper from The Motherhood,
I’m “test” driving Verizon’s Palm Pre Plus.

This past week was all about the APPS for me! It’s funny, I’m not usually an “app” girl… I like my basic apps, but I never really go and experiment and try new and different ones. I thought this week would be a good week to do that! I was in New York City this past week at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week… so essentially, the Palm Pre Plus became my mode of all communication. It is pretty amazing when you can leave your laptop at the hotel and still know you have all the information you need at your fingertips.

So what APPS did I get this past week?

I first had to go with my mighty essentials – TweeFree for Twitter and Facebook.
These are two mediums of social media that I (quite literally) use all day, everyday. It’s how I keep in constant contact with family, friends and people I work with. The best part about both applications was that they were free. That’s always a great added bonus. Both of these apps are extremely (I mean, EXTREMELY) easy to navigate. TweeFree has all normal Twitter functions – including photo posting. Facebook’s app for the Palm Pre Plus is very much the same, it’s very straight-forward and left me with zero head-scratches. (Always a good thing!)

Express Horoscopes.
I just thought this one would be a lot of fun! When I lived in NYC I used to read my horoscope everyday from the NYPost. After moving out of the City… I don’t have the time to even read the paper anymore, never mind check my horoscope. I thought by having this app on my phone, it would be easy to click on and check out real quickly.

Snake and Tic Tac Toe… for my BOYS!

It’s essential to have something for the boys on my phone. We were at the doctor’s office on Friday to get them their flu shots. We waited for over 20 minutes. Imagine 4 boys waiting for 20 minutes… not easy for them to do. My youngest guys were having fun with the toys there, but my older guys… they wanted to play some games! So I took out my phone and they went to town with Tic Tac Toe! They loved it. They went back and forth taking turns and it occupied them for the rest of the wait. Snake is one of my favorite game’s. Such a guilty pleasure… (shh, don’t tell!). I just recently showed my oldest son how to play, too.

Fashion News.
Being a fashion LOVER and writer… I need and want to stay on top of all the latest fashion/style news. I found this amazing app for the Palm Pre Plus and just fell in love with it. It gives me updates all the time. It gives me Runway Feeds. It gives me Style Files. It gives me all the information I could ever want and need on designers. It has become my greatest find! I absolutely adore it! And with being at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week this past week – this was my guide throughout the week!

VZ Nav.

I kept hearing everyone talk about this one, so I knew I needed to check this app out. OMG! Talk about a fresh breath of air. It came in handy when I was trying to get to a meeting in the snow in NYC on Tuesday afternoon and I just couldn’t find my way. It was amazing, it got me right there – turn by turn. And I had to use it again today on my way to a playdate and completely forgot where I was going… this is the exact kind of app that EVERYONE needs!

I’m absolutely LOVING THE PALM PRE!! It’s awesome! I can’t wait to see what next week brings!
