So long to the hammer

After a year and a half with a terribly outdated and not easily usable cellular phone, a Motorola c155, I decided to retire it. I fought getting one AT ALL for years, but after an incident that left my Ford with a double blow-out on I-80 in New Jersey, I knew that for safety sake I needed something. Anything.

I turned to Tracfone. Cheap phones. Prepaid. It would do. So I got this crappy but conveniently small phone. The problem was that while it was small it was heavy and didn't work great. The microphone was TOO sensitive. If I bumped the phone it would make an outgoing call. Stuff like that gets annoying fast. However, it was built like a tank; I dropped it a several times and it didn't even get nicked and worked perfectly well afterwards. And since it was heavy, I named it "the hammer."

So Mrs. Bax0jayz gave me her W370. It's like the economy version of the CRAZR. I compared it to the pricier version and you can see the family resemblance. It's a nice little phone and pretty cheap. So after 1.5+ years, the heavy little one, which is STILL in new condition, got put to pasture and now I have a phone that's easier to use. Funny, since I got it a week ago I haven't used it at all. Looks like things never change.
