I Need a New Cell Phone

Let’s just say I’m in the market. The ever so hazy and a little bit crazy, cell phone market. What to get? There’s nothing wrong with my phone, aside from being two years old. It’s a Razr, razor…whatever. I’ve moved beyond it’s capabilities. I need my email, my internet. I want to TEXT. I’ve said it out loud…I want to send text messages. My husband is now breathing in a sack. He doesn’t understand the need for any of it. I’ve got a pretty good reason for all of it…well the email aspect. Being a Public Relations/Media person for the Miss Nebraska Scholarship Pageant, I feel like the 3 weeks leading up to Pageant, as well as the week of, I’m at the computer non-stop. I’m getting emails, sending press releases. If I don’t have my internet acess, that’s when I get the ever so important, must-be-send-a-reply-in-the-next-three-minutes email.

What’s a girl to get? Sure, I’d love an iPhone, Brand however, will nix that thought even before I get the “i” out. Too costly. I’d more than likely be able to afford it if I worked full time, but why do that when the kids are young. I’ve got the rest of my life to work all day, every day. Back to the subject at hand…being that our cell phone company just sold. We are with Alltel, they sold to Verizon. I don’t know what to think. Around here, Verizon runs commercials non-stop. The phones they promote are rather, uhmmm, cheap. I want something that will last, something that will withstand a growing little girl obsessed with cell phones. Pea loves our phones. She’s not easy on them either!

Verizon, iPhone, Alltel customers, help me! Guide me in the right direction! Once you sign your name on the dotted line, that phone is yours for the next two years. Tell me what lasts, and what is complete crap. I’m lending you my ear!
