You really must love the hell out of that phone. I don't think I'd pick up something that fell on the floor of the back deck at Henry's, much less through the floor.

It has a special place in my heart, and only grows more dear the more suffering it endures.

Let alone pick it up and then press it against your face.

You people are so conservative.

You know, I have a Katana I don't use anymore on account of upgrading to teh SMRT phone. I adored mine, too.

If you don't mind having one that's sparkly pink, I'd be happy to pass it on to you.

Charming! I couldn't possibly give up mine... until it gives up on life, itself. Then I guess I'll make the leap into this decade. Thanks for the offer, though!

Do you get your service through CREDO as well? I'm on their mailing list, and am sort of contemplating switching....
But we use our cell lines for our internet....

Yup, I do! They use the all-digital nationwide Sprint network, so it's like any ohter carrier... only they do good in the world! If you sign up and give them my name (David McKitterick, on account of that's my legal first name), I get a discount, too!

You can't get rid of that thing. You just can't! It's earned it's place in your heart.

I second this.

All in Favor?

bogwitch64 May 13 2011, 20:28:41 UTC

Aye!

clevermanka May 13 2011, 20:43:59 UTC

Aye-yi-yi.

I only, within the last month, left my eight year old Nokia 2495 for something marginally newer (a samsung gravity t). the nokia still works flawlessly, but i was in the store to break my "family" plan into a pair of single-person ones, and it was a $10 piece after MIR.

there are two very handy features it has that my old one didn't: camera (picture taking & viewing), and a full, if small, slide-out qwerty keyboard.

The thing about smart phones that I covet is the interwebs in the palm of one's hand. Unfortunately, the data plans are full of monetary pain.

T-Mob's is bad but not hideous. I think the unlimited one is 70-some dollars a month (which is still stupidly expensive, since it's twice what I pay for broadband at my house, which services as many computers as I want to attach to it).

Wireless data plans are larcenously priced, but they're the only game in town... of course, I didn't even activate that feature on mine, opting instead for merely voice and text, since that's all I use my phone for at present.
