ok where to begin .......I ran my fool @$$ off on shift...5 transports ... last one ending at 0630..it would have been sooner but we had to drive about 15 miles out of the way due to flooding to get back to the firehouse

on the way back I realise my cell phone is missing........it was at the scene of the call .....mind you its been raining for the past 2 hours since i lost it needless to say it was half in half out of a puddle so ....I need a new phone.

I get home and the swamp cooler's berrings (sp) burnt up ......no cooler other things happend too but not as significant.......
but i still need a new phone. I got one of those black berrys today to replace it, but its not what i want due to the fact that if I want to use it fr anything other than SMS(Txt mssg.) or phone I have to pay an extra 20.00 a month! its going back tomorrow (I wouldnt have bought it but the guy at the store (T-mobile) said " oh yeah you can bluetooth your pics onto it" ( you cant) I asked about MP3 ringtones "oh yeah this is the best Blackberry on the market! it does that" (it doesnt) hell I cant even access the T-mobile website from it like I could with my old phone to DL wallpapers ringtones ect. ( not like its the end all be all to be able to do that but its a creature comfort ) without paying the 20.00 ! I would like to have a PDA so I can keep track of the 3 jobs, kiddos Dr. Appts, bills, fire training dates, .....kilt nights ECT. that a little pocket calender doesnt cut it! and ...well you see what happend carrying ONE electronic device imagine me carryin TWO so a PDA phone seemed like a good idea.....anyone have experince with this kind of phone? Ive been lookin on Ebay and they have treo' by sony, and the HP IPAC on there.....but I dont want to pay more than 120.00 ....anyone have a "hook up they wouldnt mind sharing? ....let me know PLEASE!!!!!

Scott ...thinking if everyone goes through cell phones like I do ...maybe I should buy stock in motorola!
