For years I have had a Nextel phone, and for the past few years it has become more and more frustrating...dropped calls, patches of no service that change weekly, phones that break when you look at them the wrong way, even the once nice and eager to please customer service reps have been transformed into evil Sprint demon-spawn. However, as of today, none of these will be my concern any longer, I have been liberated! It is the end of an era (not as monumental as when a certain two-way addicted russian took a similar path to 'raise the bar', but significant still...almost ten years of dedicated Nextel madness...gone, just like that). As you may have guessed, I now have Cingular service, complete with a brand new LG phone that they gave me for free. Other then the complete pain in the ass of having to transfer all of my numbers, so far my new LG and I are getting along rather well. Its a flip phone (I just can't have it any other way, I don't understand keylock, nor do I want to), with a 1.3 megapixel camera (no flash, which is stupid, but oh well) and very easy to use, which is essential for me because afterall I am an idiot (insert tounge in cheek). Also, as per the russian (who is famous for discovering these little tidbits) Cingular customer service is not at the point yet where they hang up on disgruntled customers and actually have provided her with reasonable responses to her..ummm...questions/demands/threats of physical violence/etc. So all in all, it looks like the LG and I will be headed for a beautiful marriage....lets just hope the relationship doesn't head down the wrong path. I simply can't bare another divorce.
