....before cell phones. Yes, you all knew the end of that sentance without me finishing it (then again it could have been about remote controls, or laptops, or indoor plumbing, or tv, or air conditioning, or cherry coke zero), but its about cell phones!
During college I had a great little purple cell phone, I loved it!! I used it for like 3+ years until the screen was getting bubbly and honestly it was outdated. I didnt want to get rid of it, but it was time so I was sad, but I thought I would be able to find a new flashy phone that would fill the void. What I didnt think about was that after our move to Florida we decided to break ties with Verizon and give Sprint a try, and really, my life has never been the same :(
We managed to get on an awesome plan with sprint where we get loads of features for very little money, but have never really been too impressed with sprint as a company. They have not so great customer service and for the first couple months kept shutting off our phones the day they would bill us because our monthly bill was over the limit of our plan (or something stupid like that). But the main reason I dont like sprint (my views are much stronger than Ians) are because they have horrible phone selectiosn for women. If you are a teenage girl and want a fun bright pink phone, they are your carrier. If you are a techy or business man and want a big ugly phone that serves a purpose, they are your carrier. If you want a phone that looks nice and works as an actual phone but also has some extra features but doesnt weight like 5 pounds, you are out of luck!
Anyway, I have not really liked my past few phones, and after getting a blackberry for work I really wanted one for home that had a full keyboard and was easy to use for internet, gps, etc. Ian had the original HTC Touch Pro, so we got me the Touch Pro 2, well, needless to say I HATED that phone. It was slow, didnt recognize when I was touching the screen, touching the buttons, didnt easily alert you to when you missed a call or had a voicmeail, basically the calling feature was not very important to that phone, but it is to me. It was certainly and upgrade but I just didnt like it and complained all the time!! Ian had gotten a newer phone a few months back and kept showing me all the cool things and I was jealous and just hated my phone even more.

Yesterday on my way home I went to make a call and it kept telling me it couldnt verify my phone. I had just had a not so great day at work and was super annoyed, and that just compounded my annoyance. So I get home and start compalining again and then Ian whipped out his phone (Samsung Epic 4) to show me once again how cool it was (which I was not humored by) to then whip out another identical phone. He got me a new phone yesterday so I would stop complaining!!!
Now I have to learn how to use it, but I was happy and thought it was very nice of him. Now lets hope this phone works or else I think Ian might kill me....
