The other day I received a phone call from a very lovely lady from Verizon who was calling to inform me that my cellular phone contract was coming to an end and I was eligible for a new phone. The timing of her phone call could not have been more perfect because I had dropped my full cup of coffee on my phone and I was only receiving every third or fourth phone call and text messages read like hierglyphics. I had been scheming on how to get the phone replaced without admitting full culpability, and now I didn't have to.
So, off the family trekked on Memorial Day to a Verizon dealer. I discovered that they were running a special--buy one Blackberry-get one free. Between the rebates, the sale, and coupons I found--it cost next to nothing. So now here Jim & I are hip with our Blackberries on our hip, but try if I might, I can't figure out how the damn thing works. Specifically, all I really want to know is how to make a simple phone call. The other problem is that in the last 48 hours, I have summarily hung up on people and almost punctured my eardrum trying to get the "Blue tooth" looped around my ear.
The phone is capable of almost everything--it delivers my favorite newspapers to me everyday, I can access just about any website, I can download music and videos, I can record messages to myself and it can even sing me to sleep. However, all I want, all I need is a phone that I can dial and talk to another human being on!
