sorcyressSo, my phone is borked. Which is to say, the internal bits of the charging mechanism no longer work reliably. Buying a new charger will not fix this problem. When the battery is *charged* the rest of the phone works just fine, but it's hard as hell to ensure the battery is reliably charged.
I am cranky as hell about this. Most anyone who knows me recognizes that my cell phone, who is officially named DevilBoxen, is a nuisance, something I put up with having because yes, occasionally it is useful to be able to text people or call them or whatever. And because wifi still isn't reliably everywhere enough for me to just drag my laptop everywhere, or get a netbook.
At any rate, just in case something goes terribly wrong, I am busy copying down all the numbers I have in there right now. I've accumulated an awful lot over the past two and a half years, and some of you people have terrific names --"Conor Short Hair", "Lezzie Beth", "David Pigtails", "Chris Wombat"...lovely stuff, and I immediately know who every one of the so labeled people are. (And I bet in at least two cases, you do too!)
So, I ask you a Highly Important question. If I were to put your number into my phone, under any name you could possibly choose, what name would it be? In a perfect world, it'd be a name I can remember is yours --this is why I input tons of handles, and have a few different people marked as being met at Diesel-- but this isn't a perfect world, and I want to know how you think you should be listed.
Go wild!

MOOP!
ETA: Bonus points if you correctly guess what name I already have you under!

on 2010-01-30 12:56 am (UTC)I'll get back to you on that, but we use Sprint. I have to find out what's going on anyways --among other things, my parents are moving in about a year and a half, meaning we don't particularly want a two year phone contract that getting a new phone for anyone would imply.
But yeah. We'll see, and thanks regardless of whether it works or not.

on 2010-01-30 02:35 am (UTC)The worst they are for non-smartphones is $200, and they reduce by $10 a month. So in a year and a half you'd be at practically zero to escape the contract.
Oh -- and I'm allowed to mail phones and do Sprint. We have a very simple phone in stock... Does have a camera, but it's MilSpec-1. The Sanyo 3810. http://www.sanyowireless.com/product.aspx?v=103
Even if you don't want to buy through me, look into it. :)
