A few weeks ago, before my personal national holiday, I was dreaming of getting an Android phone. Who doesn’t want one of those? (No comments from you Apple people, please. I am fully aware of the prior and ongoing superiority of Apple products.) I want one because I don’t have one and because it seems like everyone else I know has one and because they’re fun to play with and just because.
Currently Momma and I share a family plan, and we’ve found that the contract on it ends in April. So we went looking for what will work best for us. Of course I found a $250 phone (AFTER discount) and of course I could rationalize the $150 each month that this phone would cost not me. Momma was sitting down, letting me do my exploration, and when I went to talk about it with her, she kinda blew up.
“You know, I don’t even use this damn phone, and I’m paying for it!” Ouch. Not that a word of that isn’t true, but ouch. I asked her for a little time to explore my options, which she has granted.
GPOM and I have decided to get our own family plan, which will cut costs for both of us, and allow us to have unlimited minutes and texts. I really don’t need an Android, I don’t know how to use even the call feature on such a phone (I only recently found the ‘back’ button), and quite honestly, I can’t afford such a phone. GPOM and I will be content with calls and texts and picture messages for the time being.
To the point! I asked the sales lady at T-Mobile a quiet question about getting a new phone: There are, let’s say, ahem, uh…uh…uh…private photos on my phone that I don’t want to lose and I don’t want to be seen by the person transferring the data from the phone and SIM card to the new phone. She laughed and said, “Everyone asks that. EVERYONE. The transfer is done by computer and we never see a thing.”
I thought I was the only one!

Congrats on the phone and what you had to go through to get it... and on what I hope was a successful SIM card transfer 8^ )
No comment on pictures. :-)
I just bought a Droid Pro and love it. I mean, wow. I had the first Droid for a short time and hated it; I then had a Blackberry and it was okay, but not really fun. This new phone does the 'biz' end great but is also fun.
