aww thanks guys!
I did ring it repeatedly, but no one ever picked up

it totally sucked cos I don't like annoyances like that...I had to arrange another phone in the meantime, all my customers were calling my old number, etc...it just made me feel like I was in Siberia.
What did we ever do before cellphones? hahaha....kinda a sad development in technology....I'd much rather be 'unavailable' hahahahah
The fone never turned up, and it cost me 50 bucks for the deductible...not too bad, but I pay like 6 a mo for lost/broken insurance, so I suppose it wasn't that cracking a deal. It was on backorder!!! for like a week, but they assured me it would bea brand new replacement and not a refurb. So it finally came, and lo and behold it's a refurb. It's not the worst thing in the world, but it annoyed me cos they made such a point to let me know it'd be new...I was like 'people, eh' so no big shakes. But when I went to use the speaker phone, it was blown.
niiiiiiiiiiiice

so I called the ins and told them very nicely, and the guy is sending me out a brand new one. But I can use this one in the meantime, which is cool...but I"m not going to import all my contacts if I just have to send it back in a few days anyway.
What a chew for a phone! grrr! But oh so happy for my piccies!!!!
