enjoying my new (and not exactly thrifty) phone

We came to the end of our cell phone contract in February. We did not renew and get new phones at that time because R was laid off. I have had my same phone for 2 or more years and it was showing its age, numbers sticking, not dialing, not exiting programs, not picking up calls, etc. The old girl is tough though. She went through a lot of abuse including but not limited to: a fall from the top of my car, being driven over, being frozen with some groceries in the freezer, left in the blistering sun of my car, left in the frozen tundra of my car in the middle of winter, left on top of the stove while I was baking, numerous falls from my hand to the concrete, dropped from the stroller and stepped on, being dunked in the toilet, and being left in the fridge at work with my lunch. Not to mention numerous spills, splashes, throws from kids with temper tantrums, and juice spilled on her numbers. Yeah my Nokia was a tough old bird but she has been retired now. To a drawer just in case my new phone (yet to be named-K names items) decides it does not like the abuse.

My new phone has an MP3 player and a camera. I stepped up. She is metallic purple. I love her. I hope she is as dependable and tough as old bird was.

I got R just a cheap camera phone. He wanted something simple but then he started playing with my new phone and really likes it so I am going to exchange his tommorrow for one like mine....in red.
