Those of you that know me, know how loyal I am to my ancient, solid orange EnV phone, or as my funny friend Lindsey prefers: the Orange iBrick. There are many reasons, but I just love my phone because it has never failed me. It is a solid piece of technology that you can’t get anymore. I also hate change and love being familiar with things I use a lot, so there’s that. Also, there is just something I love about having an orange phone. It just feels right.
BUT, recently I had to take advantage of my renewal, as I hadn’t renewed since 2007. Verizon is doing away with the optional internet data plans and is enforcing a $30 a month, LIMITED usage plan. This can be avoided by getting a different plan before they enforce that, which is what I had to do.
I am picky about phones. I like mine because of the buttons on the front and how they allow me to text super fast. I don’t even use the qwerty keyboard. I also hate touch screens, but I have got to get over that. I wanted a phone with wifi, good camera abilities, good video abilities, and if it HAD to have a touch screen, I had to have the qwerty keyboard. I decided on the Windows Kin 2, because it’s like the only phone that had these options without FORCING you to get the $30 internet plan. IT HAS AN 8 MEGAPIXEL CAMERA AND SHOOTS HD VIDEO. Also, all I had to pay to get this phone was the tax. Awesome.
I also took advantage of a promotion right now that Verizon was having. Instead of $10 a month for 25mb of internet use, they were offering 75mb, mobile email, and the Verizon GPS Navigator…for TEN DOLLARS A MONTH. I said to heck with all of it, and took advantage of that deal. Because if I hate the phone, I can always return to my faithful friend, the orange iBrick.
they fought.
