About a week ago, my trusty cell phone, which is/was also my life in my purse, decided it was thirsty and jumped right out of my purse into a glass of orange juice. I was driving and I noticed what was happening as it happened but there was nothing I could do! I knew immediately it had died a quick, instant, non-painful death by drowning. I pulled over to the side of the road and tried giving it CPR to no avail. I was devastated...how would I survive without it? It had been part of my life for years.
I took it to my nearby Sprint store to see if they could revive it but, alas, there was nothing they could do. Fortunately I had the foresight to purchase insurance on it...but I would be without a cell phone for 7-10 days...while it was in the hospital and there was absolutely no way that the info stored on this one could be salvaged. I didn't know what to do, I could not imagine life without Palm.
After much thought, consideration, and looking I decided to bite the bullet and get a new one. I had to quickly change my plans for the day (showing homes) as my e-key was my Palm. Thank God I had written my client's phone # down on their file folder, which I had with me. I spent the better part of the day shopping for a new cell phone...I finally ended up back at Sprint (although I had sworn I'd never use them again because their service stinks)...and bought the "Centro"...a "wanna-be-Palm"....it's a cool little cell phone...much lighter than my Palm and works the same as the Palm with a few more gadgets. It's also compatible with my supra key...which is a huge plus....I had supra on the old one, it was required (in my eyes) on the new one. I spent the better part of the following day talking to the people at Supra to get it working on the new cell phone and then talking to the MLS dept and tech service to get the MLXwireless working (that's another story on 
its own).
Anyway I'm now up and running...I've still got the old Palm which I have to send in with my $50 deductible. Anyone know how I can erase all the info from it before I send it in? Remember I can't get it to turn on.
