I use my phone more than my computer lately

I just got the HTC Evo a few weeks ago. Since then, I have used it to check email, twitter, text, talk, etc. All the usual stuff.

What’s not usual is that I use it to check Google reader ALL the time now. I use it to read websites I never would have with my old Blackberry Curve, because I couldn’t read them on the “tiny” screen.

I use it so much for this now, that my nearly new, beautiful, pink Sony Vaio just sits, unused, practically gathering dust these days. I feel kind of bad about that. The computer is ridiculously powerful and can do much more than my phone can do in most ways, but I can’t carry it around with me in purse all day, and I can’t just take it out when I’m bored and want to check on the social mediaz.

I use the computer at work all day, so that when I get home, I don’t want to go online (on my beautiful computer) as much. This was true before I got the Evo. But I would still have to go on at home every once in a while to keep up with my RSS feeds and the like. I can check that stuff occasionally at work, but since I sometimes do real, actual work there, I can’t keep up all the time. Or at least, I couldn’t.

I love my phone. But I can’t help but feel guilty about letting my computer sit at home, unused most of the time.

*sigh*
