finally got a new phone

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

I had to break down and buy a new phone.  My beloved Train (Samsung A900) was starting to flake out: randomly rebooting and sometimes could make calls but not receive them.  I’d place calls and my voice would echo back to me but the person on the other end couldn’t hear.  I took it as a sign.

Even though I loved Train and had to give him up, I’m actually liking my new (as yet unnamed phone).  It’s the HTC Hero through Sprint. I also had to give up my nice Free & Clear plan of 750 minutes for $40 a month, but with the unlimited text ($15) and data  ($25) packages added on, it wasn’t all that cheap.  I’ll have to see how the Everything plan treats me, as it’s only $450 anytime minutes, but free mobile to mobile — so it might balance out. And my nights start at 7pm instead of 8.
