I'm potentially in the market for a T-Mobile phone that handles internet better than a Blackberry. Otherwise, I'm in the market for an excuse to get out of my contract without paying the $200 fee.

I really need some basic fliers made up for my garage sale. They just need to state the address, start time and end time. Give me a call if you can design/print these for me. Black and white, the simpler and easier to read the better. :)

Whenever my cell phone is charging overnight, my alarm is totally not reliable. If the "battery full" message pops up before the alarm goes off, the alarm will make the phone blink, but it won't make any sound. Pretty ineffectual, if you ask me.

Arg, time for a new phone. >:(

If you said no to a Blackberry in the previous entry, tell me why. Also, tell me what phone(s) you would recommend. I want a phone with a good scheduling/calendar feature, good call reception, and good call volume. The ability to assign ringtones and photo ID to individual callers would be nice, too.

Those of you who know me in person have probably heard me, at one point or another, complain about how much I hate having a cell phone. They are rude. They are expensive. They are annoying. Also, the thought of signing a two year contract to get good pricing and a sweet deal on a new phone terrifies me. I love my cell phone number, and T-Mobile is good for pricing, service and support, but I hate having a cell! What to do?

I got a new phone last week. My old one had a less than stellar speaker system. Since I am teh deaf, I need something that I can HEAR people on. I really only got a replacement one of these:




Replacement = fine. Replacement that doesn't work = NOT FINE. I can't make calls on this thing, I can't receive calls, and it just in general DOESN'T WORK. I call T-Mobile to tell them where to shove their phone and my contract. They finally convince me that they will send out a new phone. They want to send me ANOTHER one of these crappy phones that don't work. I tell them NO. They then tell me that they'll send me one of these:




I'm still not 100% happy, but it'll do. I've had about twenty different handset models since starting with them 2.5 years ago. I know people who have had the same handset the entire time they've had a cell phone--five years or more!! It has only been my fault once, and the time it was my fault, all I got was a direct exchange (not a new model).

I wish I didn't have a cell phone. Damian wants me to be on his cell phone plan, which just may happen, since nobody really calls me any more. I really only talk to my mom and Damian. Everyone else is too busy. :/ I can't really justify $50/month for a phone to call TWO people with. MEH.

Heh, I love looking through people's phone books when they lose their cell phones. This phone has the following people listed:

Crash
Diablo
Deuce
Steved

I find Crash to be silly, not anything seriously funny.

Diablo--anyone want the Devil's phone number? :P

Deuce--male companion services, anyone?

Steved--that's like a past tense thing. "Man, you got Steved!"

Bwahahahahaa! No, I did not use any of their minutes, since it's 2am and there is nobody awake to call. Hah. I did post a note on the entry door to my apartment complex saying how to get a hold of me to describe/claim the phone. I have too many cell phones as it is...

Edit--there was also a Rhonda listed in the phone book...hence the music in my head. :P
