Although it was a struggle, (mostly because I had to wear pants and a bra) I managed to go outside today. ^__^ My family went to the Verizon store to get my Mom and I new phones.
I guess we really differ from most families because we don't upgrade often *at all*. These are the first new phones for her and I since we moved here. I've been asking for one for around 2 years now only because the screen on the outside had a small crack and as I got more used to texting I realized how sucky my phone was at it. ^_~
Now I have a truly awesome phone:
It's even the same color as my business cards! It was only released in June of this year, so I guess it's a good thing I wound up waiting those 2 years. ^__^
I have yet to learn how to use all the features other than dialing and receiving phone calls, and putting it on "vibrate". I tried to read the manual but it turns out that when you're stuffed to the brim with narcotics, it's hard to retain information.
Edit: Also,
here's what Mom got. She claims she's never going to text message and the only feature she wanted was a camera.
