Phone
My phone is cracked. Boo. Hiss.
Back in March, CREDO was bugging me about either upgrading my plan or my phone since my two-year contract had expired. I didn't need more minutes and none of their current phones were pink (no black phone for me, pls), I wasn't sure what to do. The customer service guy told me I could take the option of $10/month off my bill for a year if none of the other options interested me. I chose the $10 off.
And now (of course!), my phone (which needs to last another nineteen months unless I want to pay for an upgraded phone) is cracked. It's just a little crack on the back case, but I worry about things once they start to go downhill. Once it's pushed down the slope, a ball just starts rolling faster, you know.
I'm looking at one of them thar fancy phones so I could replace my paper planner, but I'm unsure if I'm interested in the necessary extras (and costs) that come with it.
Yes, I'm still using an actual printed calendar to keep track of my activities.
Since I've been a member of Working Assets/CREDO for over fifteen years, they said they'd give me $50 off any phone to replace my (beloved pink) Sanyo Katana. Which means I could get the Blackberry 8330 for $100. And I'd have to pay an extra charge per month for web browsing capabilities (even if I don't use them, since this model comes with a calendar planner). That would be a minimum of $5 a month.
My paper planner costs $12 and lasts for seventeen months.
So here's where you all come in, darling readers: Whom amongst you has a similar phone (or something with similar functions) to the Blackberry 8330? What do you think of it? Are you pleased with how it works? What don't you like about it? What features do you use?
I very much appreciate any information and opinions. Thanks.
