A Year's Worth Of Mobile Phones
A visual representation of all the cell phones I've had over the past year.
As I grabbed my phone this morning on the way out to work, I thought back on all the cell phones I’ve went through since last summer.
6/24/08 – Signed with Verizon and chose the LG Chocolate 2.
7/7/08 – Didn’t appreciate how difficult Verizon made it to put ringtones on my phone, so I switched to AT&T and chose the LG Shine.
8/5/08 – AT&T’s coverage was dismal, so switched back to Verizon and bought the LG Dare.
8/9/08 – The Dare made a ticking sound during phone calls, so I returned it for the LG Chocolate 3.
12/5/08 – Although I loved the Chocolate 3, I missed having a virtual keyboard for texting. I purchased a Dare outright on eBay and decided to keep the Choc as a backup phone (a very good idea in hindsight).
2/19/09 – I blew out the ear speaker while trying to clean dust out of it. Since it was still under the manufacturer’s warranty, Verizon replaced it with a refurb.
4/13/09 – I decided to activate the internet on the Dare, which caused it to stop working. I literally had to remove the battery to shut the phone down and then it refused to reboot. I called Verizon and they mailed me a replacement – my fourth Dare.
Anyone here think my latest Dare is going to make it until my contract is up in 2010? Yeah, right…
Just get an iPhone and be done with it, Brian. :) Kidding…kind of. I am totally lusting after an iPhone…
@ Caroline: We should both get one. I am seriously thinking about doing that when my contract with VZW is up next summer.
