Fucking phone

[yukinoomoni]

I've been having problems with my cellphone lately, and for no reason! I get texts, like, three days after they're sent to me, and for some reason after only a day or two, my battery dies!

I don't know why; this has never happened before! So it's either time to get rid of my cellphone forever or see if I can get a new one that is simple and not full of too much shit that would give me Crackberry disease.

So annoying. I actually really like my phone. I don't get why this is happening now after a year or two of flawless performance. Maybe the fact that my dad was its previous owner has something to do with it...

I'm guessing the late text messages thing is probably an issue with Rogers routing the messages.

The battery, though, is probably just old age as Lithium-ion batteries can't get very spotty after a few years. Do you know how long your dad had it before he gave it to you? Also, you could try shopping around for a battery replacement. It should be cheaper.

It's probably about five years old. I should think it wouldn't die so soon just because of only five years!

Where would I even find a battery replacement?

Five years is pretty long in terms of mobile devices. iPad 2 was announced about a year after the iPad.

We could check Futureshop, Radioshack, even that little cell phone kiosk inside Meadowvale Town Centre.

I could do that today. I was talking with Jake (see below) and I'm also going to see if they sell pagers at Wind.

A pager? Are you sure about that? It'd be like people being able to call/bug you but you not being able to do anything about it till you get to a phone.

I dunno. I just find it better than dealing with cellphone shit. It's so expensive.

Most companies give their equipment a 5 year life expectancy. HP printers are considered obsolete after 5 years. So basically if someone calls us and its 5+ years old, we can't actually help them. Its like, "oh its 5 years old? well no wonder its not working!"

That's so dumb. World, you are dumb.

World is indeed dumb.

The stuff my company makes has a 25-year warranty. And we support it for lots longer than that.
