A BB Update

After several not so pleasant phone conversations with AT&T, they agreed to let me get a phone at the 2 yr. upgrade price plus $75 (and locked into another 2 yr. contract). Not so much of a bargain, and after the poor service I got this go around, I'm thinking about switching next year. So, I did some research and found a desk charger that doesn't rely on the USB port and ordered that for a heck of a lot less than a new phone. I don't sync my BB with my computer anyway...I'm an old fashioned datebook kind of girl and don't use that portion of my phone, so I think this will work.

BTW, I thought my southern friends should know what one representative told me on the phone. When I explained for the umpteenth time I hadn't dropped it in water, and unless the phone could suck humidity from the air, I didn't understand how the infamous little dot had turned red, he said, "humidity in the air can be a factor." WHAT! HELLO! I LIVE IN ARKANSAS! HAVE YOU BEEN TO ARKANSAS IN LATE JULY? The BB should come with a warning label--" if you live in Arkansas, purchase at your own risk...."

It's amazing how additive a BB can be. (I guess that's where crackberry comes in!) The picnic girls kidded me about never being without it, and my husband claims he is seeing serious withdrawal symptoms since this whole thing began on Sat. OK, so I like to be able to check my emails regularly...is there anything wrong with that? : )

OK, that's it for now...enough on the BB saga. And to think my phone before this was a Nokia...the OLD style Nokia. heehee
