Think Pink

Over the past year and a half I have had to deal with the cell phone from down under. I have a Sprint Razor, and the battery life on it has always been horrible. I mean, the average cell phone's battery life usually lasts up to 3 days. Mine lasts maybe 6 hours. I am constantly charging it so it won't die on me at an important time. It's really annoying in the middle of the night when I am in bed and I hear this loud BEEP BEEP.... BEEP BEEP... Some days I really wanted to throw it against the wall. When I first got it, I traded the battery at least 3 times for a new one. Finally, Sprint told me, the Razor phones just can't hold a charge too long and there is nothing we can do about it. So basically, I have just dealt with it. My brother actually got the same phone, and a few months back he was in a Sprint store in Florida and threatened to cancel with them all together. I guess a manager came out and got him a new phone with a good deal. I decided I didn't want to do that and I was going to wait out my horrible phone until my contract was up this December.


Well, 2 days ago, I received a letter from Sprint that told me since I was such a valued customer (yeah right) and I had been with them so long (6 years, I would say so) that they were going to allow me to come to their store and pick out 1 of 3 phones for FREE!!. They said the value of each of these phones was $250. I am thinking right, I am sure it's total junk. And the only catch was a new 2-year agreement. Ugh... The dreaded contract.... Well, I thought, I might as well check it out...


So yesterday, I went in to their store and looked at the phones. Only 2 of the 3 free phones were in stock. And they were actually very amazing phones. But the best part is, they both came in PINK. Ohhhhhhhhh..... I have seen attachments for phones to dress them up in pink, but never an actual PINK phone. I was uber excited. The store employee quickly brought out the pink phones. Needless to say, I was SOLD in about 5 seconds. I loved it. I then told them how dissapointed I was with my current phone and said I did not want to deal with a crappy battery anymore. He assured me that both of these phones were fantastic and that I had 30 days to return it if I didn't like it. So, I signed the dotted line.


And here she is.... ain't she a beauty. :)
