I dropped my cell phone in the pool Christmas afternoon. Despite my attempts to dry it out, the phone never fully recovered. I was able to receive phone calls, but I couldn'r make any. My display was completely dead. Hey, the phone was over a year old and anything I carry day after day that doesn't get smashed, lost, or destroyed is a surviver. Equality and I both ordered new phones. Completely free ! Hers was about 3 years old and in good condition although her battery was showing signs of degenerating. We received our cells from T-Mobile sent our new phones 2 day after we ordered them. Not bad for a free phone.
the phones are Nokia 3595 The phones are pretty simular to our old phones, with some enhancements; Color display, pda type calander and organization tools, and enhanced battery life.

T-Mobile has been pretty good to Equality and I. We like our plan which includes unlimmited cell to cell. They charge a nominal fee for for 300 text messages, and digital access which will allow one to download ring tones, wall paper, games and screen savers and pay an extra fee fee for each one. It seems to me digital messaging should be a lighter resource user than voice calls, and that they might sell more ringtones, wallpaper screen savers and games if they just gave the digital sevices away. Who knows what's behind these business decisions?
