I had a warranty on my phone about breakage and all that. Broke it,
called folks all over and had to pay fifty bucks deductible for a phone that
supposedly cost over two hundred. Waited a few days, too. I got the old
phone I had and decided to put it into service. I missed the bells and
whistles of the new phone, but the old phone was far more durable and fit
better in my hand. Sigh. Next time I can get one on ebay for way less in
less time. I have a LG phone with Verizon. The Motorola black flip was
awesome about taking a beating, but the antenna tended not to last very
long. I won't do that again. Come to think of it, I think I'll buy a
better phone next time!
