My Blackberry Pearl began eating text messages, both new and old, and my call logs last week. I poked at the settings, took out and put back my SIM card and battery, deleted some photos, and got everything working again. Temporarily. At some point yesterday afternoon, the phone started freaking out again and deleting call logs and messages. I ( Read more... )

Today be an annoyance. Arr.

Stupid things about today:
- shipping drama.
- lolinternet blogger slapfight.
- the tiny scratch in my cell phone screen that I'm going to see every time I look at it for the next two years. qq

Evening braindump from my pretty little tweet machine.

• 07:54 It was not raining like this two hours ago when the dogs and I were up. #

Obsessively checking the UPS tracking number hasn't made it leave the facility any sooner. Lessons learned, possibly a little too late: in-store phones/ ( Read more... )

I got my income tax refund this morning. Phone shopping tonight! It will be nice to replace both my carrier (at last, switching from AT&T to T-Mobile) and my long-suffering, increasingly-shabby Pantech C-300, a hardy little thing that has served me well. I am looking at getting either a BlackBerry Pearl, Nokia 5610, or a Sony Ericsson TM506.

I found an email address and shot off a polite "please take me off your list ( Read more... )
