New Toy!!
Okay after my last rant, I thought I would explain about my cell phone history. In the last 3 years I have gone from the T720 to the Motorola V600 to the MPX220 to the Nokia 6230 to the Audiovox SMT5600. (You can see I spend alot of money on cell phones)
The Audiovox SMT came the closest to being able to allow me to carry only one device but I still had to have my Pocket PC. Today(a day earlier than planned) I stopped in at Cingular and they had in stock the HP hw6515 Mobile Messenger. I have spent the last couple of hours setting it up and playing with the features. So far, so good. The only limitation I see at this moment is no Wireless but I could get an SD card to fix that. I just found the GPS and am currently setting that feature up. This looks like it may fit my needs but I am skeptical.
I will keep you up to date on the cell phone saga. Have a great phone that you like? Let me know about it.

Cingular
Two posts in a day. This is sort of a rant. I purchased an SMT5600 phone from Cingular and in the course of my day while the phone was in the case(and less than 15 days old), the screen must have been bumped because when I took it out of the case, the screen was broken down the bottom. This is an expensive phone so I was slightly miffed. I brought it to Cingular in Hyannis and Andrew said it was not covered. I called Customer Care and Melanie stated it was absolutely covered and that was Cingular's policy.
Needless to say, 3 weeks and lots of dollars later, Cingular did not live up to their customer representatives word and the most they could do for me was a $50.00 credit. Sometimes it baffles me how these large businesses stay in business with customer service like this but they do.
But there was some good out of this. Andrew in Hyannis was nice all the way through the process and I thank him for that.
Have any rants to share? Let me know.
