I went to the Verizon store today.
My two year contract is up.
I wanted a Helio Hero phone.
$80, all you can eat vox and data. Cool with the Myspace kids, if they can afford it.
Dropping $275 on an untested phone on a patchwork roaming network is not my idea of reliable fun. Even if it is modeled on Korean phones, which make most US phones look like ashen, crumbly bricks.
I used to be an early adopter, now I prefer “justouttabeta.”
I’m late with the Razr, but I got the brand new one. Erase the firmware and run open source. Unblock the DRM and funky UI.
My Nano is for the car and running now. Around town it’s Razr and bluetooth headset. I’ll take mono audio and no wires.
Oh FedEx man, where art thou?
