Oh, yeah. I’m smooth.
Last night I shut my jacket in my car door. What I didn't realize until this morning is that my cell phone, at the time stashed in the pocket of said jacket, was also shut in the door, smashing the LCD and basically rendering my phone useless for anything but receiving calls. Just peachy.
A word of advice: When researching cellular service providers find out if they give existing customers a break on the phones. T-Mobile does. The longer you're with them, the better deal you get. Sprint (my provider, of course) does not. Replacing my phone is going to cost me about $140. That in and of itself would have been enough to make one fit to chew nails, but since I could not view my phone book, I was afraid I had lost all the numbers programmed into my phone to boot. Now that really got my shorts in a wad and made me somewhat grumpy.
All's well that ends well.
So I went to the Sprint store and bought a new phone. They were able to print out my phone book from the broken phone, which alleviated the whole grumpy thing I had going. (Now it's just a matter of taking a hour or two to program them into the new phone.) One other small bonus is it was only $20 more to get one of those new fancy, schmancy color phones, so what the hell right? Now I can put cool images like this one as wallpaper on my new phone.
