My sin of covetousness December 30, 2007

It’s not as bad as you think it is. When it was first announced, I was really looking forward to it. The “it” I’m referring to is the iPhone. It was disappointing to hear that the iPhone was only on the Cingular/ATT network. When I was in Orlando, I got to go to the mall to an Apple Store where I got to play with an iPhone, even it was very brief. It was what everyone said it was. Unfortunately, two things kept me from actually getting an iPhone. The first: the price. When it came out, I didn’t have the money to get either type of iPhone. The second: Cingular/ATT don’t make it out in Wyoming. So in the end, I was disappointed because I saw it, wanted it, couldn’t have it.
That meant that I had to stick with my recently upgraded phone, the Motorola KRZR. The next time I can upgrade will be December 2008, only a year from now.
Then I saw something else I coveted even more. It was the LG Voyager by Verizon. Why did I covet this? The answer is simple: this phone is actually available on MY network! The only problem: it’s pricey and I can’t upgrade free or cheap yet. So, until then, I will have to continue to covet the Voyager.

I have to say that I’m a bit disappointed with my cell phone, a Motorola KRZR. This is the second one that I have had since I received it in April. The problem that I have with the phone is ringtones. Here’s the problem that I’m having. Let’s say that for my main ringtone, I select Ringtone A. Now let’s say that I would would like to make Ringtone B for you. I go under the Contacts and edit your information and give you Ringtone B. Well, it didn’t work on the first phone I had (plus I had another problem with it). After $50 through insurance and a new phone, the problem was the same on this phone as well. There was a software upgrade available. I had them flash the phone and install the upgrade. It worked in the store and it worked a couple of times once I got home. But now, the problem is the same as before: only Ringtone A will work, regardless of what ringtone I selected. So now I get to call insurance again tomorrow and see what they’ll do about it. Who knows, it may be a defective phone. But two phones in a row?…
