a very cellular phone
Mar. 29th, 2010 10:07 pmClose to three weeks after last sighting my cell phone, I finally gave up on its reappearance and went to the phone store to get a replacement. This will give you an idea how frequently I use the thing: I'm taking a car in for servicing tomorrow, and if I walk off for shopping or lunch, it'll be convenient if they can reach me.
Of course, the last time I was in this situation and asked the service folks to phone me when the car was ready, they didn't. At least slightly annoying. That was a different car and a different dealer, though, and the only time that dealer didn't e-mail me afterwards with a customer satisfaction survey, I wonder why?
Anyway, replacing the phone was easier than I'd thought. When I'd bought the phone, a Samsung fliptop, I'd gotten the impression that it was the last of a closeout model and that fliptops in general were going out, replaced by phones capable of making buttcalls. No, it turns out, the model is alive and well, and a new one costs only $30. Not a major disaster after all.
