You got it right… I just bought a new phone.. here it is:

Isn’t it cool looking? Well I think so…

Thin, but not absolutely paper thin. The razors are ok, but they are too wide and the krzr just didn’t turn me on.. This one, oddly, really seems like a decent mobile phone for me. (And probably only me)

What I really liked:

Flip phone– I was between whether I liked the slide phone or the flip. With the flip.. the phone only needs to keep a small screen lit, but with a slide phone every button bump turns the whole screen on which could drain juice quick.
Light weight: Not having a heavy brick (like in Japan) to lug is always a “+”
Camera View: In Japan I loved that when you took a ‘me’ shot or a ‘me and you’ shot you could view yourself before you took it by swinging the top part around… Well phones here are getting there, but that little screen (when closed) turns into a view finder so that you can see yourself + somebody else. Big + (cuz the newer phones just have a dorky mirror ;P)
Music Player: Plays the typical set of music formats Mp3, AAC, and WMA, but it also has…
Expandable Memory (MicroSD): Yeah it can take microSD cards which you could load up with songs, pics, etc. and play them back.. Up to 2 gb’s worth. Yeaaaah.
Groovy Camera: 1.3 mega pix might seem ok, but its hell of a lot better then the old cameras we used to use.
FM radio: NPR on my phone.. need I say more? k 94/7, 101.1, Kboo, and 105.5 the buzz (4Tink 🙂

So I’m happy, not ’bout the 2 yr contract I signed up for, but happy that I’m connected and it’s on my dime (every month). Responsibility in doses…

Building my credit up for when I really need good credit.

The best part was that it was a total industry marketing advertisement invoked impulse buy. So I tip my hat off to you T-Mobile, to you Nokia, and to the millions of marketing Zhars who work to get my bottom dollar. Not my whole bottom dollar.. I did get a massive discount bringing the steep $169 price down to $50 bucks, which was sweet, but the irony is even sweeter..

*big thought warning*

-You see I just bought a phone from T-Mobile Inc. with money I earned (hourly) from my company RuleSpace LLC.

-RuleSpace just happens to be contracted out by T-Mobile to build their mobile parental controls which I am specifically grading content for.

-So the $50 started with T-Mobile’s contract- which flowed through Rulespace- into my pocket -and then back to a T-Mobile box store…

Ahhh Trickle down… Ronald Regan would be proud don’t you think?
