The death of my beloved Motorola i58sr...

Post by Bill Drayton Jr. »

It was obliterated in a freak accident on I-405 as it was unfortunately left atop a car as it accelerated on a freeway onramp. Once at speed my phone survived the initial 60mph impact onto the freeway but then got ran over a few times killing it instantly...A two person search and rescue mission was launched none the less but tragically the crucial sim card was unable to be recovered from the available wreckage.

I've now "upgraded" to a Sprint PCS vision phone from Sanyo that is supposed to be mil-spec and all that but it's a gimmicky joke...I hated gimmicky phones four years ago and I hate them now. I can't believe people will pay money to change the settings...what a joke...the speakerphone sounds muffled and it isn't even as loud. Horrible sound quality...I hate the way the world works anymore and I hate technology it all fails...I am goat....

Damn I can't beleive that new phones not only charge you to change some ugly background picture, misnamed "screensaver" on my phone, but also it expires in 30 days so you have to keep buying it if you like it! Unbelievable...I hate gimmicks damnit! Is this what people nowadays need to make their phone seem cool is gimmicks? We goats, for example, have very little need...

Remember that little tiny phone you had l2ick, it was so small. J3rk had a pretty tiny one as well.

You should have gotten the nokia 6133, which i have. I can make my own ringtones and graphics for free. It also has a 1.3 megapixl camera.

When we started with Sprint, they gave us the Vision service for free for a while, with a certain number of downloads. What I figured out though is that once that Vision service is cancelled, they can't reach into your phone to grab anything. I have had the same Deftones ringtone for 2.5 years now, and was only supposed to have it a month!

Wonder if that would work with the "screensaver"

I got another phone again - this time it is a non-gimmicky Motorola moto Q. Its customization priniciples are based off of the zombo.com model - where you can just repace files on it and thats it. No paying for anything just how it should be and I am actually using it right now to enter this message.
