Oh Holy Night
Its silently not RIIIIIIIINGING.
This is the night, that my cell phone is Dead…….
Come on, I must be the only blogger person out there that has a running cell phone saga online.
- Give food to homeless guy.
- Win Phone. Good karma coming back!
- Phone wont work with my service. TOTALLY FIGURES
- Try to pawn phone off with a trade for another product. No dice. Although lots of people offered to trade me their husbands.
- Show to my dad who desperately wants it for Christmas.
- Hawk it on my site as leverage to win Walmart contest.
- Dad sad I didn’t give it to him (incidentally, he saw it on the site and was like..oh, i guess i don’t get it for Christmas, i felt totally guilty)
- Still don’t know if I won walmart contest and can buy a new phone. HAHAHA.
And me? I’m still stuck with the same POS “Motorola” I have had this whole time. Its like a cell phone soap opera. And its even extra sad that I sit here and STARE at the box of the phone I cant use all day. Like some sort of modern day torture. “here, have this ultra cool technology but you cant use it.”
My cell phone is terrible. Heavy on the TERRIBLE. I am the person that goes into places and says ” Uh what is the FREE one?” I bet you thought I was the high maintenance cell girl, didn’t you? Well, your wrong. You have no idea how cheap I am. There are two words in my vocabulary that I understand. Clearance and Free.
Then again, I also trust that companies wont put a piece of doo doo on the market for me 
to be locked into a rate with. Oh, and that technology is so good we have laptops the size of a small novel now. But noooooooo, my “free” phone cant even make a call inside my house.
Think about that. Its my ONLY phone and I cant make a call IN the house. I know I live in Alabama, but I don’t live in the boonies. Even the people that smoke tabaccy all day and have 1 tooth (and I do not kid when I tell you that the old lady at walmart today who checked me out, had ONE bottom tooth and that is it) has a better cell phone then I. Little kids walk by to point and laugh.
I have stood with my head out the window, I have went out in no bra, jogging pants and no socks at 7am, I have stood in my backyard with barely PJs on trying to catch a call. Dont even ask me how I was listening to the Patrick Demsey phone call. It was back and forth from the computer to the backdoor. For shame.
I cant text. I cant surf. Come to think of it, i have never had a phone that could text. N-E-V-E-R. I cant even make a call. Muahahahhaha, its so funny actually. I remember way back when my dad used to have a cell phone in the 80s. It was this big old honking thing w/ a cord that ran in the car. Very Saturday Night Live.
But check this bad boy out.
The Samsung Smartphone. WHEW!!!!!!! Its no wonder they call these things smartphones. They can do everything for you but wipe your toosh.
8 GIG memory. 5 MEG camera. HOLY MOLY! On a phone? You can take a picture of the guy who crashed into your car and then email it to your insurance agent in like 10 seconds! It has a business card reader. It can view POWERPOINT presentations. Heck, I bet it could wipe your toosh if you asked it too.
And never be without your blog again. Sigh. Your phone syncs right with your PC. I am sure some of you phone gurus who get every brand new phone on the market could explain all this to little old “free phone” over here, but some days I think these phones they come out with are smarter then the computer sitting on my desk…and all hacked into one tiny slim pocket controller. Now why cant they make computers this inexpensive?
The list goes on and on……

Ok, ok, I threw in a few of those.
I think my Dh should buy me this for Christmas, don’t you? But then again, he would have to ask my permission and I wouldn’t want to go all “1950’s” on him.

Did you find a new phone for Christmas? I’m with you on the free and clearance. It’s about the only way I get anything. I hope you managed to get a phone that works now!
I am kind of addicted to my phone. My DH would say very very addicted but I would disagree. I have a Motorola Krzr and I love it even though I have ahd to get 2 replacements (under warranty of course) The first for a faulty camera and the second for not sending out texts. Yes I am a textaholic, thank you thank you. My DH is up for an upgrade here really soon and I am pondering if he wants to get the new Balckberry Pearl for his wife and take her Krzr… HMMMM, what do you all think? He he. Anyways he has 2, yes I said 2 work phones plus his personal and he hates each and every one of them! So all in all I don’t think it would be a bad trade, after all it is the season of giving! I hope you solve all your cell phone troubles Trisha!

My husband is getting the new verizon one Blackberry Storm from his mom *die* I want one!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He’s a freaking auto tech what the he** does he need that for?
I feel your pain I really do. My Cell phone saga would probably take several posts to get the whole story out. Long story short changed service got the free phones like you. They are a POS and hardly work all 3 of them. Now I have to wait 2 years to upgrade or pay a ridiculous amount of money. Pooh on cell phone companies!
I got my first serious phone when Mo was born. I had it until the flip part snapped off for the 5th time. That was March of last year. I got a cute little pink phone that was awesome – until Beloved left it out in the rain one night. So I replaced it with an awesome green Rumor with the full key pad and the whole nine yards. Then Meghan helped me with the laundry adn threw it in the washer which I didn’t notice until I UNLOADED the washer to switch to the dryer. Yeah, dead. So guess what? A friend of Steve’s had a spare phone – exactly like the very first serious phone I owned. And that would be what I’m on now! I’ve given up. I’ll use this one into the ground and maybe try again in another 5 years.

Two words that I understand: Clearance and Free.
If you weren’t married already, my hubs would seriously be after you.
You’re speaking his language!
Tracye’s last blog post..Did I forget to mention…?
Motorola – THAT’s where your problem lies. Never get one of these, even if they are free. We have Verizon service, and they always try to give DH a Motorola as his free upgrade. I pay a little and get him a LG like mine. I’ve beaten the hell out of my LG phones and the only thing that’s killed one is baby slobber. They don’t like getting wet.

That’s a cool looking phone. I went without a cell for two weeks. the first week was kinda nice. No ringing, beeping or anything then by week two i was missing it.
Lisa’s last blog post..We hung out with Matthew
I’m getting a new phone in January and can’t decide.
And oh, I could tell you a cell phone saga haha
Let’s just say that Asurion Cell Phone insurance they pitch to you in case something happens to your phone. SUCKS.
