For about a year now, I've had a LG enV2 Cell Phone. While I am not as obsessed(?) with cell phones as the average American, I enjoyed using that phone.
Until a fateful day in late November when I (for whatever reason) attempted to hug the Hubster while holding the enV2 between my arm and side. It slipped fatefully from my arm/side grasp and plopped with a splash exactly into the glass of water Hubs was holding. What are the chances?
It was completely submerged. It was soaked through! After letting it dry out for the night, I tried to start it up to see if it would work - and it wigged out. Apparently it wasn't dry yet, and was rendered useless.
Did I ever mention that I do not have a land line?
So I quickly went to ebay to search for a new cheap phone. I found a MotoQ and ordered it. The MotoQ is a smart phone, and while I was sure I wouldn't use all of it's fancy abilities I bought it anyway... it was cheap.
Did you know that Verizon had recently started a new rule where if you activate a Smart phone you must upgrade to the data plan? Don't you love how they bind you in with a contract and then change rules on you? So here I am, activating my smart phone, upgrading to the data plan... all of a sudden this is getting expensive. I decided I would try it out.
So I tried it out for about a week, and the MotoQ wouldn't hold a charge for an entire day! That, coupled with it's confusing/annoying-ness, and the fact that my enV2 was slowly coming back to life; I decided to switch back to my enV2. After all that enV2 and I had a good thing going.
So I went back to the Verizon store, and the enV2 wouldn't work. Well I tried right? So I bit the bullet and bought another phone. This time a brand new one. (Sorry ebay, I love you but not for used electronics).
Welcome to the world: my LG Chocolate Touch. It is fancy and shiny. I was surprised to find out that the charging cable doubles as a USB cable, and I even managed to load some songs onto my new Choc.Touch (even though it took me practically all afternoon). Now if only I could figure out how to make those songs my ringtones... it sounds like a simple task, my friends, but it is not. Trust me.
