So I went to the Verizon store to see if they could fix my phone, and ended up walking out with a new phone. I didn't want a new phone, but it turned out that the discount I'm supposed to get on my next phone (because I got the 2 year contract) would expire on March 4. I think it kind of sucks for them to change their policy on people who signed up already under the old policy, but whatever.
My old phone was just fine (when it worked that is) so I got the newer version of it. The new camera is better I think: takes decent photos indoors, and in bright sunlight is damned impressive. One thing I really like about the new phone is a display screen on the outside, so you can take a photo of yourself and see what you're doing.
They tried to sell me on some kind of service to download MP3s to the phone, but I can't imagine I would ever use that. Also, transferring contacts from the old phone to the new phone now costs $10. What a rip-off! I can do that myself, thanks.
While I was out at Southpoint I also bought a new battery for my powerbook. The old battery has been draining really fast, and I'm going to need good battery life for the Houston art car parade. Speaking of which, I filled out my application! Yay! They have an online application now, so it was really easy. Except that I never got the out-of-towners questions. I need to write to them and ask about it.
