Reconnected

Approximately two months ago my Nokia 3120 cell phone went through a wash cycle in the pocket of my jeans. The phone was fried. The next day I stopped into a cingular store to see what could be done about the situation. I found that my only option was to buy a new phone, since I didn't have insurance coverage on my plan. Since I'm already a cingular customer, I don't qualify for any discounts on their phones, and would have to pay full retail price for a replacement. Full retail price on a replacement was $100+, for a bottom of the line phone they usually pay you to take at contract sign-up. And if I wanted anything fancy it would be upwards of $200-$300. Sorry, I'm not paying that for a piece of crap. Since then I've been looking around on eBay and craigslist to see if I can find a decent replacement or upgrade phone to use. Finally yesterday I got a replacement Nokia 6800, thanks to my good buddy Damon. He recently upgraded to the new Motorola V3 RAZR, and graciously donated his old cell phone. It's good to be connected again. So for any of you that need to, you can contact me at the same old cell phone number.
