Thread: Just got a new phone...

I got the verizon boulder recently, and I have to say i love it to death.
I went in to get a new phone and the first thing i said was "take me to the most durable phone youve got."
and they showed me the boulder.
Now, as a joke when I first got it, I literally soaked it in a glass of water (completely submerged) and left it there for 45 minutes and it was completely fine.
I've dropped it at least 50 times from chest height and it's still relativly unscratched and in good condition.
Moderatly text friendly, not a keyboard but the keyes are easy enough.
If I had to recomend a phone, I'd say the Boulder.

If you want a phone thats more text friendly, you want the Envy or sidekick or such.

Yeah... about that... I have AT&T, not Verizon. Thanks, but unless they are cheap and unlocked, it's a no go.

They offer the trial phone period as you asked, so head back to the store, say you changed your mind on the phone and wish to try a different model, provided you only did the contract thing like a few weeks ago. They aren't going to turn you away, they want your monies.

Oh, this service renewal agreement thingy just happened last week. I'm just antsy because I have a phone I don't like, I'm not gonna use it on the chance that I do something wrong with it, and that I just want the phone I'm willing to pay more money for.

Anyway, I'm hopefully going to get all of this sorted out within the next few days. Anyone here have any personal stories about phone atrocities and the like?

Quick update...

The swap of phones went flawlessly at the AT&T store. I am now the proud new owner of a Blackjack II. Nothing beats playing Mario 3 on a smartphone.

Why the fuck would you do that? If it didn't work you would of just lost all your monies because warranties don't cover water damage...


Overall you seem like a pretty smart kid.

With phones that are "waterproof" yes it does.
I'm not about to go and waste a good phone like that.
