I got my new cell phone in the mail today. It's a Sony Ericsson Z520a. So far my experience has been pretty good. Unlike last time when the new/used phone got absolutely no reception within a 3 mile radius of my apartment, this phone works as well, if not a little better than my old one while I'm home. It also has features that my old one didn't have, like voice dialing (good for when I'm wearing gloves), speakerphone (good for when I want to annoy everyone else on the T) and MP3 ring tones (good for amusing myself at the expense of everyone elses' opinion of me). It also has LEDs that light up in a pattern when the phone rings, which would be awesome if I were a teenage girl.
So for the time being it looks like this worked out for the best. Unfortunately I have to mail back my old phone, otherwise I'd probably be able to sell it on Craigslist.

Oooh... it looks like it's time for me to pull a fast one on Cingular too. I really want a flip phone so the screen and keys are protected from my spazziness.

You know you love the LED light up pattern!

Gwen - the only problem I've had (and this relates to the flippy nature of the phone) is that there's a camera button on the side of the phone. The button stays active even when the phone is closed, and so I've managed to take a dozen pictures at a time of the inside of my pocket. Other than that, it's all good.
And yes, I do like the LEDs, but not as much as the MP3 ringtones.

Ooh I like the MP3 ring tones, and you will always be like a teenage girl in our eyes Daniel.

Jason - that's not a good thing. Because we all know about you and teenage girls...
