My Treo is haunted. It makes phantom noises for no reason whatsoever. It blips, I look for a message or email. Nothing. It beeps I do the usual searching. Nothing. Maybe it's lonely. My cat will sit in the middle of the hallway and meow until one of us turns around and looks at her. We yell "WHAT!?!" and she comes running up, like she was trapped in some dark hole for weeks and we pulled her out. Typical female wanting attention scheme. :P

I place my Treo next to me in hopes that it would stop beeping... or I could at least see why. Last night it freaked Jake out too. He couldn't figure out what the beeping noise was. When he finally located my phone it was just telling him it had finished recharging. What phone tells you that? Is it an electronical burp? Of all the phones I could get why does it have to be a needy one?

Okay, so I just made out like a bandit. My phone battery is dying (again) and Jake is looking into getting a new phone. The smart thing to do is to both get one, right? Okay, work with me on this. I started looking into PDA/Smart phones for Jake. After looking around I started wanting one. Jake was looking into the Treo 700P or 700W so I started to grill him. What do you need that for? When will you need to do a chart on your phone? The most he could come up with was grocery lists and memos. After trying to talk him out of spending a large amount of money on a phone he didn't need I ended up calling to get one. Yeah, stupid me. I went through the whole deal until we got to the online discount. Apparently you can only use that if you're eligible for a new phone, which I wouldn't be until June 2007. I was looking at the prices for new business. When I went through my profile it showed the full price. $600! No fucking way was I paying that. I thanked the girl for her time and hung up, but not before her suggestion that I go into a store. For some reason she thought they might have some magic wand to make that discount happen. Either that or she was counting on me getting a not so bright employee who wouldn't check protocol. After sulking for a minute or five I grabbed the phone and called up our local Verizon store. I started to stumble through my saga and the guy asked for my info. After a couple of seconds he told me I WAS eligible for the deal and to come on down. I threatening to stalk him if he was wrong, hung up the phone and we were off. Twenty minutes later I was buying a brand new phone that I had no idea as to how to use and really didn't need. Four hours later I have yet to play with it. I have to pry it from my boyfriend's cold, dead hands first.

On a whim I decided to look at the minutes I had used on my phone. I have been talking to my friends a lot this month and figured it was close to the 900 mark. I almost choked when it said 65 minutes over. Luckily I only have today and tomorrow until it turns over to a new period but still... Next month's bill is going to be a bitch.

Cell phone ringtones are funny until you're at work and it's really quiet. All of the sudden Gwen Stefani's Hollaback Girl starts going off when Bane text messages me. I dove for the phone as "This shit is bananas" blared out of my phone. I looked up at my supervisor who slowly shook her head and turned back to her monitor. I just know I'm going to moved again... into the closet.

I finally got new ringtones! I'm still trying to decide which ones I want, but the hard part is over. A special thanks to Howard Forums for posting the work around for Verizon's block on uploading anything you don't pay for. And now... work. Blah.

I got my new phone today!!! What was going to be a *simple* upgrade turned out to be a major purchase. I bought the new LG VX8100 from Verizon yesterday and it arrived today. W00t! I was so excited that I went to Verizon to pick up the extras. I figured I'd buy another charger for the car and be out of there. Riiiiight. $150 later I walked out with the charger and new bluetooth headset. The phone kicks ass, but the bluetooth isn't that great. I'm thinking about taking it back. *sigh* Impulse shopping always seems to bite me in the ass.
