Hang in there, Kate. By the time you're ready for your "new every two," Verizon is going to have come out with a whole new batch of phones and you're going to have so many neat choices. This technology moves so fast, it's unreal. I still think that in a few years, we're going to be able to do just about anything we want with our phones. And computers? Nawwww. They're going to be in our phones too. That may be the only time I have to learn to text..........unless they put a keyboard port/plugin on the side of a phone. Can you just see that? LOL. -- Piggy's Pad

In reply to: Sandy 's message, "I'm glad Rick has forgiven himself for what happened with his phone. I'm still very happy with our new phones (the 8600's) but I had the chance to play with Travis's new phone and it's so totally neat!!! Apparently there's an old Chocolate and now, a new Chocolate. Punkie and Travis got the new ones and they're so cool. My phone is about the size of a credit card where her's is longer and thicker. I think they're a great choice if you want to use your phone for music. Especially for Travis, who's officially only a pre-teen for another month, loves his. But for heaven's sake, they pick up texting so quickly. I can type like a bandit on a good day but still have to use the "hunt and peck" method to text..........so I don't do it. Besides, Punkie paid extra for the unlimited text/pics/flix. She had to remind Travis to send the pictures he's taking to our email.........NOT our phones!!" on 10:56:53 am, Thu, 09/27/07

I'm going to do my best to hang in there Sandy...but gees, you start looking and you can't help but want a new one!! I don't even see the 8600's listed anymore...now it's an 8700!! I was looking at the Chocolate's they do really look neat..but maybe a little more than I'd need...I don't think I'd be doing the music thing with the phone....I'm thinking, just for the heck of it, the next time I get near a Verizon store I'm going to check them out....

I'm not eligible for the "new every two" but I am eligible for an early upgrade with discounting prices....thank heaven's Rick was eligible for this too....so guess it wouldn't hurt for me to look...the weird thing is now the contract on his phone is good through 2009 but the contract on mine is up in 2008!!!
but you know me Sandy...I'm a very impatient person....so hopefully I can talk myself out of the new phone!! Rick about gives up on me when it comes to this kind fo stuff...he knows me too well!!! (NT) -- Kate, 8:52:42 pm, Thu, 09/27/07
I'm the same way, Kate. Waiting those last few months to get to my "new every two" date took forever. And since Gerry never wanted to stop by the store and look, I'd wait for a day when I had the car and stop in then to look and touch.........LOL! I even spent a lot of time on the website, ooohhhing and aaahhhing over the new phones. Yep, I looked yesterday after you mentioned the phone that Rick got and I couldn't find the 8600's either. Only 3 months old and they're probably relics already!! (NT) -- Sandy, 6:22:48 am, Fri, 09/28/07
Especially since our cell phones are now our "only" phones, you can bet I'll be upgrading the minute I make it to that date. There's just *something* about having a new phone to play with. (NT) -- Sandy, 6:26:31 am, Fri, 09/28/07
Boy you've got that right!! I love playing with a new phone.....
Rick is FINALLY happy with his new phone..he was just so grumpy and mad at himself the first day or so, that it took him awhile to get around to admitting he liked it...
now for me, that is probably not the phone I'd choose...just at looking at the website I'd probably go with the 8700, possibly the Chocolate (they've got some absolutely beautiful colors now...) but I'm not quite sure about the Chocolate..I've got to see one in person before I'd go as far as ordering it!!
it's kind of fun looking, even though I hope to hold off, it is kind of "fun" seeing what is available!! (NT) -- Kate, 7:32:22 am, Fri, 09/28/07
