I don’t know about you, but when I get a new cell phone or car or camera I’m incredibly excited to use it and figure out all the features on said item.
My cell phone has been broken for 3 weeks now and it barely functions and shuts itself off without warning, basically it’s been a huge PITA. Yesterday I bid and won a new cell phone to replace the broken one that I’ve been using on eBay. It’s nothing fancy but a slight upgrade from the bulky nextel phone I’ve been using for the past couple of years.
The thing about getting a new toy or gadget or car that strikes me funny is how excited people get (myself included) and how we want to share this information with everyone around us. Like when you get a new car and you drive it around to show your friends and relatives as if they really give a shit about it.
No one cares except the person who gets the new item. People might pretend to care to try to be nice, but they really don’t. I have to remind myself of that little fact when I reiterate the story for the 20th time to the Mrs about the bidding process on eBay that won me the cell phone or showing her any new features it might have.
Here’s my pretty basic new cell phone that I shouldn’t be posting because no one really cares, (I can’t resist)
Good Morning Gloucester

Thanks Sue, but honestly it’s really just a pretty low tech phone. The reason for getting it is because it is supposed to be rugged and sealed from water damage. It doesn’t have 1/100th of the capabilities of the cooler phones like the iPhone or Blackberry.
With our work environment I don’t think an iPhone would hold up although I think they are the best technology to come along since the internet.

Very nice phone. Not too overloaded with features. What would be more interesting is the ebay bidding process.

I understand about your silly phone, because I just got a new Samsung Global and I was off the wall excited, and nobody cared!
David barely looked at it…..I was bummed!
I’ll call your new phone the next time I’m in a very cool place like Dubai or Jordan…collect!
