Did it by chance say "who dis?"

That's my favorite random text.


No :lol: It was my roommate saying "Today is totally JOAK weather!"

(JOAK= Jump On a Knife. I said to her once "This weather makes me wanna jump on a knife!" She said the phrases I come up with are really amusing so now it's an inside joke)

I won't even respond to one or two word texts -.- The "who dis" text amuses me though, regardless of the fact that I ignore it.

I don't have a cell phone. I did once, but my mom kept borrowing it, until I told her she could keep it if she wanted it. She was obsessed with the idea of carrying around a cell phone. She was under the impression that something would happen while she was driving to the store or something. But when I did have it, I never used it, yet no one has any idea how much I regret having given her the cell phone. She calls my dad every couple of hours to ask what time he's getting home, where he's working. I ask her if she's his nanny. Then she does this while she drives, too. And she criticizes my brother for doing the same thing.

For those of you who've used a Droid; is the browser easy to use & see :?: I have the LG Voyager Titanium(I think it was the closest thing Verzion had to an iPhone at the time) & I have problems using that browser & it's difficult for me to see cuz the screen's kinda small for that. I'll have to have a data plan of $29.99(I think for unlimited) & I'm paying $9.99 now for 25mb & I'm only using half that but as I said the browser is difficult for me but if the Droid is better; it mite be worth it. I'll be eligible for a phone upgrade in 4 months but I can get a discounted one now & they periodically have other special deals on their site. Is the battery good as well :?: I've had problems with batteries for Motorola phones years ago; I had to charge em like every day & I tried extended batteries some wer official Motorola batteries & some weren't but the batteries never seemed to go more than a day or so without needing a charge

I LOVE my Droid!

First phone I've had that I could actually see anything when I was browsing the web - it lets you zoom in so you can actually read stuff, and the screen is big enough that you can see more than two words at once when it's zoomed.

Full keyboard is nice for texting. camera takes GREAT pics. Tons of apps available (I know Iphone has more, but . . . how many thousands of different calculators or whatever, do you need, to find ONE that you like? :lol: ).

Also, the number pad for dialing is VERY easy to read. touchscreen, so they aren't "real" buttons, but plenty big enough to hit easily.

Battery life - I try to remember to plug it in nightly, but it can go about 4 days before it dies. Of course, if you end up sending a billion text messages a day, or spend all day surfing the web on it, it's gonna lose its charge faster.

Verizon did require an unlimited data plan with the phone, though. It's a smart phone, and it updates itself pretty often - which requires web access. Make sure you get a solid price quote before you commit - and GET INSURANCE! You may get a good price initially, but if it breaks, they're gonna charge you full retail, and it ain't gonna be pretty. Also, it does not come with a manual, but the manual is now available on the web.

So, um, yeah . . . I kinda like it a little bit. :oops: :lol:

I live in an area without cell phone service, but the phone calls I get are:

--Doctors appointment confirmations
--Application paperwork

And that's it. F U N

I'll defiantly keep that in mind. I'm not ready for a new phone yet but I'm thinking about it & researching. I think the Droid X will be released soon so I'm going to compare that as well Thanx

My Dad and my best friend (I have few friends though). They are the only two people I will volulntarily talk to.

My best friend (who is also AS =] ) has to call other people for me quite often, especially if its official calls (example: recently I had to contact student finance direct about my disabled students allowance application and my best friend had to talk on my behalf because I can't cope with such calls).

1. Parents
2. One friend of mine
3. Doctors, pharmacy
And I got one wrong number. I text a few more people than I've called recently. I only have one friend nearby and the others are farther away or out of state, so I don't call them as much.
