After just twelve short months, my Blackberry has decided to fail me. My friend has been acting a bit wonky for months, but I chose to ignore her inconsistencies. On Thursday, I decided that her greatness was overshadowed by her flaws, so I stopped by the shop where I purchased her and asked someone to set her straight. Unfortunately, if I'd been fed up three weeks earlier, she would have been covered by her warranty. I was
this close to stopping by Verizon while I was in Dallas, but I couldn't be bothered. Little did I know, I would be paying fifty dollars for BB.2 two weeks later. ERK. What I did find out through this process... you get a better deal if you're not a current customer. My Blackberry was only $19.99 for a new customer! And, that fancy new Blackberry Storm... a mere $259-- while I would be expected to pay $550. Hmmmm....
Speaking of the Blackberry-- what do you think of the president-elect being told he needs to break his Crackberry addiction before the inauguration? The reasons make sense, although I hadn't really thought of the implications.
Could you go without emailing and texting? Weigh in.

I could not go without emailing, but life without texting wouldn't be that bad.
Isn't it crazy how phone companies treat loyal customers like crap and offer no incentives, but have numerous ones for new customers??
I check my email from my phone (I have the LG En-V) and I can't live without it. It's the last thing I look at before I go to sleep (the phone is charged on my nightstand) and I check my email from my phone in the morning. I can't deal without texting or email. I think my phone has been turned off twice, with the exception of the week of our honeymoon. (My mom took my phone from me two hours before my wedding, and returned it as we were leaving to go on our honeymoon.)
And if you're a new customer getting a good deal on a phone, that means you have to sign up for service with them. If someone didn't have a contract and didn't want to have a contract with Verizon, they'd have to pay the crazy prices.
LOVE the new layout! :) Super cute, esp. the signature. :) Anyways, I'm for sure a textaholic and obsessed with emailing on my iphone. :)
I like your new layout! Very cute.
I couldn't go w/o email, but that is because I use a smart phone for work & we're crazy busy right now, so I have to be uber connected.
Mr. Potts & I just got new phones with a keypad & he loves it! He had an old one that didn't allow for easy texting.
No way, I LOVE my blackberry. I don't know what I would do, I rely on email for grad school, and I am so bad at actually logging into gmail. My blackberry has gone crazy recently too so I am weighing my options as well as my warranty ended too before the technical difficulties began. Coincidence, I think not! ;)
