    Well, I finally did it. After all my rants and raves about people with cell phones... I got one. :-D Getting a nice annoying ringtone, a strange looking wallpaper, gonna crank up the volume and wander arount with it having meaningless conversations.;) Oh yeah, texting. Got to learn how to do that.

    Had a cell phone back in the '90s, they certainly have changed. QWERTY keyboard, plays video, takes pictures. I am having fun with my new toy. Picked up a Motorola i465 today. but, I won't use mine while driving or in stores (unless info is needed about what item I need.) Need to figure out how to post in here from the phone...

    Congrats, Fred, sounds like you got one of those fancy ones!;) I took the plunge this Spring, and bought a trac-phone... It has a browser and camera too, but I haven't messed with either of them, I wanted it for the phone service for emergencies..... I didn't do ring-tones either, so you will have to tell us what you end up with :-D Heck if I was to mess that up, good grief, where would I get help with it? LOL Congrats on your new toy! Mine is always in my purse, and only comes out if and when I need it, and not while driving....

    Hey hrlow, sounds like a "cell-phone party"! :-D

    lmao....woohoo Fred.

    As annoying as they can be (when used by other people of course :innocent), I couldn't do without mine.

    My gift to you (and your new toy):

    Audiko ...Adryn turned me on to it. You make your own ringtones out of any youtube vid or mp3 file you want. (Did I mention it's free??)LOL

    Thanks for the link Laura. Have to figure out the ringtones one day. Got the cell because my cordless phone was dying, and when I cancell my local phone service, I will only be paying $10 per month more, and I get the interweb, unlimited calls, and free long distance... :-D


    Dang it! 'Unfortunately, your carrier is not supported for this offer. Click here for other exciting music offers!' Nice try Laura.

    lol You're welcome?

    Huh? for what offer?

    Basically, you create your ringtone, dl it to your computer, put the ringtone onto a micro HDSD card and insert it into your phone. Voila :-D

    Here's the link where I found out about it.
