My phone is a total POS! Long story short...I have a refurb now because that's what they give you when you place an insurance claim (I lost my last phone at a football game). It has a touch screen that hasn't worked in months & a qwerty keyboard. Now the keyboard isn't working correctly. It does crazy stuff! It tries to call people in my contact list when I'm texting, it adds additional letters, numbers & spaces, it has even tried to delete some of my contacts. Our contract ended last month on the 21st but our pay period ended on the 18th. We had to wait until the 18th of this month to terminate our service. Luckily, I only have to put up with it for another week. I think by that point I'm going to do some bad things to the phone!

Oh no! It sounds like your phone is possessed! My Razer did that, and I was always so confused when people would call me back and be like "so, you butt-dialed me." I would be like, HOW did I butt-dial you, this is a FLIP-PHONE.

Yay new phone for you! What do you think you're going to get? (Clearly not a new version of the old phone, hopefully! :-P)

I hate cell phones... You have to buy into a 2 year contract to just get a decent price on a phone ($300 for a cell phone... REALLY??)  and then the phone only last maybe a year, if you are lucky... but you can't get another discount because your contract isn't up!! 

And don't get me started on insurance, they wanted to charge me almost $6 a month!!  Now you have to use a refurb until they can submit your claim!!  Geez, if you know your phone and phone company is good quality, you should back it up for free! 

I totally feel your pain Krystal!

Not sure what I'll be getting. I guess I need to start looking at phones. I think we're going to switch to T-Mobil because it's a lot cheaper for us. You can cancel within 30 days if you're not happy so we thought we would try it out.

We're shopping for cell phones now and I have no idea what we're going to end up getting.  I can't believe how expensive phones are these days!!

I know! They're ridiculous & most of them are crap. Drop them on carpet & it's all over.

in Steve Jobs own words, "It's only a phone."

lol Steve Jobs.

I really don't want an iPhone but so far it's the only phone I've found that natively supports Asian input  I need to figure out if the Droid phones at least have an app for that.
