*MiPHONE*
MiPHONE
You'd think I'd be getting the iPhone, but I'm waiting that one out a bit longer. You'd be a fool to buy a first generation Apple anything, when 6 months later they'll no doubt come out with a slimmer, sleeker, and perhaps cheaper version with more storage capacity and choice of 4 colors. Anyhoo, I got this new MOTO MING (or more commonly known as A1200 by sleazy dumbass indian cell store clerks). It's a gorgeous PDA phone with an awesome 2.0 Megapixel camera, videocam, voice recorder, MP3 player, FM radio, and a shitload of other features. The more I use it the more I love it. And the best thing of all....not everyone has it! (If I see a chinese grandma on the 7-Train whip out this phone and start yapping in loud spitty cantonese, I'll hurl the fucking phone onto the track....uh, the grandma's, not mine). The PDA/pen thing is fun. Turns out my pinky finger is the same thickness as the pen, so I mostly use my pinky to work the touch screen.
I broke down and finally listened to my mom, who had been insisting for years that I'm a fool for not going to Flushing to get my new phone & service. In Flushing, there are 3 chinese cell shops on every block, each one more eager than the next for your business. They throw free phones at you like Akon throws his fans off the stage. Mom escorted me into one store where they showed me all the free phones with a 1-yr contract. Razr, Rizr, Krazr, Blazr, Tazr....nah. I wanted something way cooler. This MotoMing was $75 with a new plan, but mom then bit my my head off for not taking a FREE phone. I got it anyway despite her mumbling and berating, and my unusual affection for the phone piqued mom's interest, who later said, "hey, if you get a newer phone in a year and don't want this one anymore, give it to me, ok-la?" kaka. Ok-la, mom. That's fine with me...in a year when my contract is up, I'll give mom my Ming, and get myself the iPhone 3.0.
I also moved away from Cingular to T-Mobile. Aside from the whole "Cingular is now AT&T again, but will become ACingular&T a year from now" crap that makes me mad, I had practically zero Cingular service in my own house (in Bayonne) for 3 years, which rendered my phone basically useless at home. T-Mobile works great at home. And if the iPhone doesn't expand to other services, I won't be getting it AT(&T) ALL.

Since I was actually able to TOUCH your new phone and hold it in my hand, I have to say it is damn NICE !!
Thanks for the pity comment, p.diddy
agreed about the first gen apple anything. never again will i make that mistake
good thing you finally listened to your mom, right?
too nice. one of these days, i'll have a nice phone/pda set! haha i'm so old-generation that i have nothing new! sigh. even my digicam which has been dropped so many times and it still works, it HUGE compared to the new ones out. ahhh, one of these days, i'll get a new one. but i'm just being cheap.
it works and it's such a hard worker after being dropped tons of times, i cannot get rid of it, you know? 
dear, i have not heard of that phone. probably because i am with cingular now. dear, i will get an iPhone. but i kind of want to wait too, cause i know that everything apple is better the second or third time around. but, when i tsee someone with the iPhone, i get so mad that i don't have mine yet! so, i might just break down and get one, and then get the newer one when that one comes out too...like i did with the nano....yep, i'm a sucker! but your phone is sexy and sleek, like you dear!
