Phone Gone - Neville Happy
My worst purchase ever is gone...and it took accidentally destroying it to happen.
Since I bought the phone in March 2006, I've paid Verizon Wireless $2,117 . This includes the phone, added features, overage charges, taxes, stupid fees and finally my cancellation charge for breaking the contract.
All that money for only 8 months of phone service.
In no particular order, here are the moves I've made in this process:
Insurance fraud? Possibly....but not really.
I've definitely downgraded phones, and it's not so bad. My new phone (Samsung t509s) makes calls and sends text messages, which is what a cell phone basically needs to do.
I do however feel a bit lost without the appointment feature on the old phone, and text messaging goes A LOT slower without a QWERTY keyboard!

You seem to have so many incidents happen to you - from your car incident and now your mobile...
- Full Outlook contact sync
- Full Outlook calendar sync with helpful reminders
- Qwerty keypads
- Ability to view text and html files
You really dont need to drop 700$ to get these features. I bought a cheap GSM smartphone for 130$ on Ebay. It has all the essential features and best of all no contract attached!
I really like my smartphone and it's quite useful to carry in your pocket your full outlook contacts.
you can email me at oosoceroo@hotail.com Thanks

Unlimited long-distance and local calling for $35.99 per month. In addition, I didn't have to sign a contract. Woohooo!
Now, I don't have a cell phone because I use Skype instead. Free nationwide calling and to Canada for now at least. I figure I save about $480.00 per year.

Let us know what you did for your B-day.
Gotta read those contracts, let the 'cooling off' period be exactly that!
Really, though, I bought an expensive phone (for me that is) with mp3, camera, contacts, notetaking and appointments, etc... In truth, mp3 software is crap, the camera resolution isn't great, the note taking/appointment features are pitiful. And syncing isn't great either.
So All I use it for is txts and calls. For those it's about fine.
