Back on July 13th I posted a blog about my new phone- The Instinct by Samsung. I was just thrilled with all the features that it has, tv, music, e-mail, gps, internet, touch screen etc. I could amuse myself for hours, especially since the phone hasn't been ringing much lately- and I'm pretty easy to amuse.
But, what I didn't know was a feature that Samsung and Sprint haven't released to the public- It's BABYSITTING FEATURE!! Whenever the baby is fussing, you're in public and she or he is crying, or wants attention and you're kinda busy shopping for groceries, eating your dinner, or having intelligent conversation with a bonified adult, just turn on the tv feature and tune to the Disney Channel, Nickelodeon, recorded cartoons or even the internet or some of their favorite music that you have downloaded to the phone, and wha laa! instant quiet!! It's magical- believe me, I have used this feature repeatedly when I get the opportunity to visit my grandson. It helps that the phone has the touch screen and he can bounce from screen to screen with just a touch.
Of course, there's no throwing or dropping or slobbering on the phone, and if there is an accident, Grammy has insurance on the phone. A problem that I see, tho, is becoming addicted to the video features, much like texters and how they can walk right into traffic while they're texting(that can be dangerous). While driving down the highway, I have been known to turn on the tv to listen to the news(I'm a news junkie). Of course, I watch the road and not the screen,
Someone needs to tell Sprint- I can see the commercial now- Every Baby needs their own portable amusement device- a mommy reliever- it's definitely worth the extra monthly cost, or on family plans, no extra monthly cost. I wish that when my kids were little I had something like this while I was pushing the cart in the supermarket, would have saved the money I spent on snacks, toys and assorted distractions.
