Oh no, they have to have cameras, ringtones of whatever, data & fax capabilites, GPS positioning, MP3 whatever music, razor, flip, color cases, ect, ect, ect. By the time you figure out how to use all the stuff, and need a new case, it is no longer sold. AND the sales person makes me feel stupid for even asking if I can order a case.

I just want a phone that works!

Remember the ol brick phones? I WANT ONE!

AMEN TO THAT STATEMENT. A phone, just a phone, with numbers to dial and a speaker to listen to, and that is it. After Alltel's service was so horrible, I canceled and sent them half the last charge. They called and complained and I told them since it only worked half the time, i'd only pay half the bill. They said it doesn't work like that, and I said "well, my phone did". They sent me another bill. Those losers. They just don't learn!

You could always put the bad phone in the Microwave, set it for high destruction, push the GO button and stand back and watch the fireworks show. Just make sure no portion of phone is in contact with any of the metal framework in the nuke bin and all should be good.

PS., not only will you get visual effects, you will get olifactory ones as well......

Just don't ask how I know these things, I don't want my carrier to catch on to how I can always get a new phone under warranty...LOLOLOL

Man, you all have a lot of ideas. It's true, this phone does all kinds of things, I took a picture of my face today without meaning to. If I could just get one of those old school big old full sized analog phones hard wired into the truck, I would. Those worked. This one seems to be OK, just have to figure out how to get it to do what I want it to.

I may try launching the old phone out of my dad's old mortar cannon, and shooting at it on the way down. There should be lots of death and fiery destruction. Dragging it behind the truck could be sort of amusing too, or crushing it with the Jaws of Life. I'll figure something out, it needs to have a high entertainment value though. This thing needs to pay for all the hair pulling and swearing it has caused.

That's what I did! I got my phone programmed so when any of my members call, the ringer is my truck. It's a perfect way to identify who it is.

With certain providers, you can go into the phone and change which tower you pick up. I do this on my LG from Verizon and have not lost a call since I found out about it. I can go anywhere providing there is a tower within reasonable disatance which there always is in WI.
