Mama NEEDS Android Again!

So, I must admit, I am a tad frustrated this morning. My huni buni gave me his old HTC Shift Android phone last night because I've been bitching and moaning for SO long about getting a new phone. Mind you, I have this piece of crap phone that I can't really do anything on, not even Internet really because it sucks. Seriously. I do have the Thunderbolt, but apparently I'm pretty clumsy and it's got a giant crack across the screen. Also, GTalk and the camera don't work on it anymore because of my huni putting different Roms and crap on it. So my point is this... he is a programmer, he does ALL kinds of crap to and for phones. He's looked upon like he's a "God" or something in the developer community, which is fine. He gets all kinds of phones just handed to him left and right to work on. He has the latest, greatest of everything, and I have this BUNK ASS phone. WTF! The phone I want isn't really all that great even, but it's better than what I have now which isn't even an Android phone at all. I think Mom should be able to have a bad ass phone too, right? Well, instead of him getting me a phone he gives me his old phone. Really? Is it too much to ask for a NEW phone? Fresh out of the box? No scratches. No issues. Not a hand-me-down? I don't think so. But you know what? Beggars can't be choosers. So I will take this Shift and set it up and try to get it switched over to Metro, but I think it's going to cost like $80 he said and the damn phone I wanted is only $120! If I'm going to spend $80 to get his old phone hooked up for me then what's an extra $40 for a BRAND NEW PHONE?? It's ridiculous really in my opinion. And I know I shouldn't be picky or whatever but screw that. The whole reason for me wanting a new HTC phone is for Sense and I can't have Sense on the Shift he gave me because he put Cyanogenmod on it. No offense to my huni and his friends' Rom and crap but I want HTC Sense damnit!  

So, this is me ranting this morning. I hope you enjoyed it because I know I did. What do you think? Should I just take the phone and shut my mouth? Or should I continue to bitch until I get what I want?

  1. I say that since it's going to cost so much to activate or whatever it is to the old phone that you mine as well get a new one. It doesn't take long to get tired of a phone. You could at least get a new one. It seems like it will make you happier in the long run and you surely deserve that much.

  2. Yeah I agree. And it turns out that Metro doesn't flash phones from other carriers anymore to use on their service. So I kinda have to have a new one now :) Unless Richard plans on spending a lot of hours hacking this phone so I can use it.. which might in turn make some stuff not work anymore like with my old phone.. LOL

  3. Wow, I didn't know that. I've been a Verizon (we take all your money) for years. But with that, I can't live without my iPhone. Joel and Richard would probably get along very well. He does lots of computer stuff. :) I texted you earlier, but I wasn't sure since you had phone problems if you got it. I wanted to see if we could do lunch Friday instead of Thursday. My schedule changed at work and I now work M-Th, 9-2. I could meet you after 2, but I don't know what time you have to pick up the kiddos from school. :) Let me know what works best for you.

    1. I could have sworn I texted you back, sorry. I pick Brooke up at 2:30 and I pick up Paige at 3:30 so I don't know if that is ok for you, kinda late in the day for lunch by then. Let me know.
