BBFIOTNABF!

The EIC has been using the same cell phone that he got in 2000. It served his needs perfectly: mostly for checking his email and the ocassional emergency phone use. Well, a few weeks ago his phone email suddenly stopped working - "temporarily unavailable, try again soon!" He tried and tried and tried again for a week until contacting technical service numerous times. Finally the truth was found: Sprint had discontinued web service to the old phones! Sensing his rising anger, the customer service rep offered to replace the phone and throw in free internet/"vision" plan to boot. Sounded good, until the phone that arrived would not give him his email! Back to technical service for literally hours, only to be told that this phone model had "issues" with his email service, so they sent him another. It seems to work, but the EIC is so sad to end his relationship with the old phone (pictured above -- a Qualcomm, with a leather case he bought at Radio Shack (tm)). At times like these he hears the words of the Monz. Just like his lunch report (two slices of pizza from CSC: one sausage and one everything), it's going...

OHHH NOOOO!!! a handset change must happen every 6 month!!! just like teeth cleaning!!! oiii-weei

but besides that i'm seeing a problem... its called "sprint" - they're going to get bought out by nextel and both will go out of business- stick with GSM phones
