I finally went after work yesterday afternoon and picked up a new cell phone. My old cell hones, hasn’t been working right for the past few months. It doesn’t hold a charge, only rings about 50% of the time, and only receives signal about 20% of the time. Great phone, right?
I started shopping around in January for a new phone. I knew I had to wait until 2/29/08 to buy one since that was when i received my discounted price on a new one. If I didn’t wait, I would have to pay full retail and that’s just crazy talk.
Jess called me yesterday at work and wanted to know if I wanted to grab some dunch (lunch + dinner, kinda like brunch) before she headed down to Easton to see her dad and sister. I agreed, and we had a nice little meal at Wendy’s. Having some time to kill before she got on the road, she followed me over the the Verizon store which was only 2 buildings away.
We went in, and I played with the phone I had been looking at for a little bit. By the time the salesperson came over to help me, I had already made up my mind. I purchased a new Samsung SCH-u740.
Here’s a picture of it in it’s various modes, stolen driectly for your internet:
So far my biggest issue with it is that it will not display the full text of a reply from Twitter. The message is there because if I go to forward it, I can read it in the body. It just won’t display it in my inbox. I’m researching that issue now to figure out how to resolve it.
Other then that, it’s a nice solid phone for a nice price — $29.
