I lost 4 pairs of 10 dollar sunglasses over the course of the summer.

So I guess I'm glad I never bought those Ray Bans I wanted.

I'm still happy with my Razr that I picked up in early 2006.  My two-year contract has been up for many moons but I haven't really felt much need to upgrade from a phone that suits my needs just fine.  Calls are loud and clear, it fits in my pocket without hassle, and I can see who is calling without having to flip anything open.  I do not text very often, and I think I use maybe 90 of my monthly allowed minutes. 

Every now and then I get curious about an update but I'd want Verizon to make my two-year agreement retroactive to the end of my last contract.  Anyone have experience with leaning on Verizon for a deal like that?

I've actually considered dragging out my old (old!) Samsung SCH-3500 and seeing if I can still get it to work.  There'd be hella more buzz about that phone at a bar or club than if I pulled out an iPhone or Blackberry.  Totally flashing back to 1999, allz.  Would I have to go with Sprint, the original provider?  Or could I reactivate through any other CDMA carrier?

Yes, but what do you say to the watch phone?

I have decided that cell phones are like sunglasses.  The less you spend on them, the longer they last.

That's true unless you drop it in the pool.

I hope I never have to refer to a scone in spoken conversation.

I'm looking for a new Verizon phone, and am leaning towards the enV2 or however it's capitalized, but I have no personal experience with it either.  I've had excellent service from my current LG phone, though.  So, basically -- I don't know where the boat's headed either, but I think we're on the same one.
