Showing my age!

So that's it, I've had it! Am I the only one who is completely sick of the blackberry pearl? I'm not sure if anyone else has this phone, or if they do if they have had these problems-but my blackberry really has not worked completely correctly since day one! I know a lot of other people seem to be in love and their phones work awesome-but not so for me. I can't get the email to work, it kept deleting EVERYTHING for a couple of weeks there, an incoming call would be erased before I could even look at it, so if I missed any calls I had no idea from whom, I've already spent multiple hours on the phone, and at the dumb verizon store tech counter trying to make it work. And then my biggest complaint is that when the battery goes it says "battery too low for radio use" (which means that the planner part works but not the phone) for AT LEAST 30 minutes even when it is plugged in charging again before I can use it! so if my phone dies with you on the line, I can't call you back for half an hour or more depending on the day to tell you that my phone died! So anyway-I've just decided that it's all too much for me. The internet thing is nice sometimes, but it still goes pretty slow and I never really think about using it, and I've been living without the email the whole time I've had it-and lets just face it, I stink at plugging my phones in- always have- if you've been friends with me for a while you will remember :) but so the one thing I do the most with a phone aka "let it die" is the one thing that absolutely drives me crazy with my current phone! So I'm giving up, I can be hip and with it for a lot of things, but using all of the fancy gadgets on all these phones is just not for me! All I need is a plain old phone, and I'm going to go to the store tonight and get one! It will just save me so much time, aggravation, and money! so thanks for my rant. So here's to any of the Young women reading this, I know you would just kill to have a phone like the blackberry-sorry I'm just old I guess! Too fancy for me!

I bought my ticket. I'll be coming out Sept. 14- October 4th. So we can play anytime you want. ;)

Sorry you've had so many problems with your phone. I'm old too, because I just have a plain old cell phone. No bells and whistles for me. I am totally guilty of letting my phone die all the time too.
