you know, if you were getting a new phone, you should have at least gotten one that you can hear when it rings.





The backstory: her Blackberry Pearl was stolen, she was still under contract so it would have cost more than $400 to replace it, so she figured she'd just get the iPhone. The funny thing: she couldn't hear it when the Pearl rang, and she still can't hear the iPhone either. And, as a result, she can look forward to bills that are 64 pages long.
