Getting a new phone.
My old cell phone is a dinosaur, and has not taken the years of abuse very well. My friend who is a cell phone nut loaned me a Sanyo phone with Sprint service, and I was having fun with it. Phone coverage is good, and we were having fun messaging each other (and talking since he has free sprint-to-sprint calls). Finally, my contract with AT&T ran out, so I went and got a new cell phone. Its pretty cool:

I didn't really want a clamshell design because I don't like fumbling to open those things up, and most of models available right now like that look like one drop to the sidewalk would take them out entirely. This thing looks more like a cell phone stuck in a Fluke Multimeter protective clamshell.
(These things are nearly indestructable)
Anyways, I got another one (not the same model) for my wife, and now I just have to wait for them to start working. Hmmm. I remember my AT&T phone worked out the door from when I bought it. Not having these things work for the next couple of hours is annoying, and not very "new customer" friendly.
