So. I finally have a phone that works, at least for now -- but it's not as smart as the one I had. It's a Rumor Touch LG ... I'm not sure it's smart enough to give me a weather app.
I really want to be able to Do Computer Stuff whilst, say, riding GITAP from campground to campground. I'd hoped the Samsung Intercept I got used from a friend would do the trick ... but I do believe I drowned it... and I didn't really like it well enough to pay to replace it.
I would *like* to check email.... but the weather app is really more important to me. I want to be able to check the radar.
EBfore the Sanmsung, I had a Sprint contract -- with the "phone insurance" --- but for about six weeks in the dead of winter I spent as much time without phone as with, between phone and charger failures that they failed to diagnose... and their assorted failures at communicating. So, I figured if I wasn't going to get that "I'll always have a phone" thing, why should I pay for it? So I'm on Virgin's $25/month all-the-data and more-talk-than-I'll-ever-need.
However, one of my students tells me she works for US Cellular and they have better customer service ...
ON the third hand, I've *got* a working phone, so ... Ipod? Can I get weather apps? IPad seems too big, tho' I*am* on the Xtracycle... Android?
Stories? Opinions?
