When Being A Bitch Pays Off

Back in late 2004 my cellular provider (I think is was SunCom) was bought out by Cingular. As a customer, I was given the option to merge, or cancel my contract with no penalty - so I cancelled, mainly because SunCom/Cingular did not have any of the great PDA phones that were out there like Verizon and Sprint did. So I started up my new service with Sprint and got myself the Palm Treo 650 - I LOVED IT! The design of the phone, the pictures, everything! Sadly, I could not get it to sync correctly with all my Windows stuff at work, so it was basically useless to me and I had to exchange it for the Audiovox PPC6600, which was a Windows Mobile equivalent to the Treo, It was okay and served it’s purpose, but after using it for a while, it became really loose where you slid it up and down to get to the keyboard.

After much complaining, they finally replaced it with the newer PPC6700, which in the few short months of having it, has started to have the same damn problem, among others. I cannot get the back to stay on the thing, so the battery keeps coming out and erasing all my crap - VERY FRUSTRATING.

But not anymore - my complaining to Sprint paid off. I told them that I was sick of the sliding feature and was just over sliding pieces on equipment period, among other choice words. I must have picked the right person on the right day and the right minute, because since I have been a good customer (i.e. I pay my bills yo) they went ahead and gave me the new Palm Treo 700wx with Windows Mobile. Look at it up there, isn’t it the most beautiful thing you have EVER seen? Isn’t it? I am so damn happy to be back with a Treo and even happier that it has Windows Mobile and syncs with all my stuff like butta!! I swear to god I want to marry it and have little Treo babies!

If you two decide to upgrade, definitely go with the Windows Mobile version!!! Okay I am done oohing and ahhing now, I am such a closet geek.

**UPDATE**
She has been named thanks to Friglet and some-girl. Her name is Wilma.

God, I feel so out of the loop. All I have is some cheesy little samsung thing that I don't even really know how to use. Well, I *can* make phone calls on it, and that's about it. Ha!
Posted by Michele on 2007-02-01 11:08:43 Jealous does not begin to describe what I'm feeling. I have been wanting a Motorola Q but after seeing this one, I might hold out. I don't think Verizon has this model yet, but dayum! Lucky you!
Posted by Daisyhead on 2007-01-31 12:20:45 "she has your eyes" HAHAHAHA!!! She is quite dreamy!
Posted by Misty on 2007-01-31 10:28:58 I have to say, I can't wrap my brain around this either!! Everybody's going mad I guess...;-)
Posted by Catlin on 2007-01-31 08:36:37 Hah! While I opt for the simpler life, you geeks with all the toys make me jealous. It's not that I'd use it ... it's just that you have it and I don't. The poor thing would probably end up lost in the bottom of a basket of socks. What color hair do you think your babies would have?
Posted by Bonnie on 2007-01-31 05:48:00 You geek you! *BUT* you rock for complaining enough to get that!
Posted by Ro on 2007-01-30 23:12:58 For some reason she looks like a Wilma to me. Maybe it's because she's got Windows. ;)
Posted by Friglet on 2007-01-30 19:48:21 Maybe cool things like that happen in the fantasy world where you live, but today I complained after waiting half an hour only to find out my hairstylist wasn't going to show up, but the "complimentary upgrade" of a free haircut from the manager resulted in my tresses being mauled and receiving a black eye... Yeah, you heard me. Not a hot black GUY with a giant dong, a black EYE!!! Welcome to my world. Nice to know it works for someone though.
Posted by The Bombshell on 2007-01-30 19:45:33 Seriously. I can't think of anything to say right now. Except that I can't belive I'm friends with such a dork.
Posted by Dena on 2007-01-30 19:31:17 I have the 700p and I Lurve it! Her name is Zoey...
Posted by Deanna (domestic chicky) on 2007-01-30 18:38:36 Most of the palm programs have a windows equivalent! What do you think I should name her?
Posted by Misty on 2007-01-30 18:11:56 She's beautiful! She has your eyes. ;) What are you going to name her? I thought about getting the Windows Mobile, but don't you miss all of the cool palm programs?
Posted by Friglet on 2007-01-30 18:05:24 I just got the TREO 600, and I love it!! I'll just have to be jealous in the mean time!
Posted by Bev on 2007-01-30 17:42:46 Bite Me Shelly! You know you are going to be drooling over it at Dance Class on Saturday morning, you and your gay little Razr!
Posted by Misty on 2007-01-30 17:07:09 You are a total dork!
Posted by shelly on 2007-01-30 17:03:55 I am all kinds of envious over here...I love my Treo 650, but cannot wait to upgrade to the 700. I am seriously drooling now! You lucky girl!
