The Dog Ate My Phone
I ordered a new usb cord off ebay. It came in the mail; however, I left it in my car when I has some repairs done. (Nothing major, just some vacuum hose thingies replaced.) I finally got my car back and remembered to bring it into the house (the cord, not the car). Not two days after downloading all my pics and stuff, I was in the living room watching a movie (Kill Bill on our new Blu Ray - to my surprise, I loved the movie!), when one of the doggies decided they wanted to eat my phone. I’m not sure which little beast did it, but I’m thinking of having a mold made of their teeth just so I can find out!!! There were bitten buttons all over the bed and the screen was sopping wet with doggie drool. =( I ordered a new phone - a samsung solstice. If I don’t like it, I can return it in 30 days; however, for a not smart phone (I’m too cheap to pay the $30 a month for a data plan), it seems to have a lot of apps and features. We’ll see…

I’m with you on that … like we were discussing here last month, I’m hoping that the 4th generation iPhone is not exclusively AT&T, and a data plan is not required, that we can use the cell service for phone calls and text messages, and Wi-Fi for the rest of the data.
Congrats on the new phone!

How is the new phone working out?
I encountered an interesting entry to Wikipedia for folks like us, in the entry for the Google/HTC Nexus One and T-Mobile:
If use of the product is limited to free wireless LAN networks, the cost would be $529 for the lifetime of the phone. Adding phone service without data is available economically via T-Mobile prepaid minute plans.
On the Google offered T-Mobile network, an unlimited usage plan is $2,448.76 for the first two years, whereas an unlimited use plan for two years with an iPhone is $3,799. (Both prices include phone purchase costs but exclude taxes and fees.)
