Cellular Devices

I would just like to start out by saying that I have had to worst of luck with cellphones this summer. I have been through a vu, propel, duo, razor, pantech, and finally an iPhone. But those first five weren't used just once. I had been using my vu for a while and I loved it! Then one day, it decided it didn't want the battery to work anymore. The thing would not stay charged for more than a couple of hours and would randomly turn off. So then I used my moms duo for about a day until I found my old propel. I had quit using it last year because it randomly decided to stop getting service and I couldn't call or text anyone. I used it for about a week and then it started having the same problems again. So I started using the razor. It was going well until we were out of town and then it wouldn't let me push any of the buttons. I couldn't even use the end button to turn it off. So mom graciously let me use her duo again. I had that phone for about a week and then it wouldn't make any phone calls, to or from my phone. So that one went in the trash. While my sister was cleaning out her closet for college, she found a mysterious phone in the bottom. It was a pantech and we had a charger, so that's what I used. This one worked for a while...until it decided to send me 43 of the same messages one night. That was NOT fun to go through the next morning! But I was out of options. We had gone through all of the phones in the "old phone drawer." So I kept using it. Then last week on Tuesday, I laid everything on my car so I could open the door. I put all of my books in there, got in, and drove off. A few minutes down the road, I started looking for it. When I couldn't find it, I assumed it was in the back with the rest of my stuff. I get to the salon and I'm looking for it, but it's nowhere! So, after about 10 minutes of dumping my purse out and pulling everything out of my car, I go back to school and look in the [parking lot. Well what do you know, there is my phone on the ground. I pick it up and there is black all over the back. I flip it open and there is just this white screen. So I turn it off and turn it back on... still a white screen. Well crap! I call my dad on one of my friends phone, but since my upgrade is soon, my dad says I can deal. So that night I start using the razor... again( and the buttons magically work now.)  Now my dad isn't a huge tight-wad, but he didn't want to buy me a new phone when my upgrade was  September 24th. (That's how I got the iPhone) So I dealt with spastic phones all summer. I just got my iPhone tonight, but of course, not without any problems. They had to order it because there wasn't any in stock (of course.) This was on Friday, so it was going to be about Tuesday when it got here. Well Monday came.. no phone. Tuesday came... still no phone. I was starting to get worried till Elizabeth told me that you can go online and track where your package is. So I got online and it said it was at the FedEx place in Owensboro. They tried to deliver it to the house, but someone put the wrong address on the box. So I called and told them I would come and pick it up. I finally got my phone. I am very happy with it at the moment.
And I have an Otterbox.. so this one is indestructible!
