For three years you served me well, Sanyo SCP-4900.
But now you're dead to me.
Tomorrow my cell phone contract with Sprint ends.
Though it's now the same company, I decided to switch over to the Nextel side of things because I wanted to make use of the Direct Connect technology, so I had to get a new phone.
I picked up a Motorola i275.
It's not the latest and greatest, but I didn't really want the latest and greatest because, quite frankly, as far as I'm concerned it's just a cell phone, so who really cares what kind of bells and whistles it has? I mean, I already have a PDA, so I don't need those features, and I already have an MP3 player (two, in fact, since my PDA plays music), and to get a phone that actually does any of those things well (in addition to being a decent phone), I'd have to shell out a lot more money than I'd be willing to spend on a device that I'll seldom use.
I did get a camera phone, though, which brings my total number of digital cameras up to three (counting my PDA). And, of course, the picture of my decommissioned phone was taken with the new one, so the torch has truly been passed on...
On another front, at this point I only have about 2,500 words to go in order to hit my word count on my novel, so it looks like I'm going to make it. I'm going to try to actually finish the story before submitting my text for the official word count, but if I can't I'll submit what I have.
In any case, that means that we'll soon be resuming our regularly-scheduled Threshold entries.
I'm sure that's cause for celebration.
