So, I know I got great advice last time that I had a phone tantrum and I don't deserve to rant, but ....
Thomas and I opted not to take our phones in. He told me that if we could stick it out for 7 more months that Verizon would give us another free/cheap phone for re-signing up for two more years. It felt complicated to me to switch phones temporarily again in the middle of this and now I have pictures etc on the phone that I can't seem to get off of it ... and so I put off the idea of borrowing someone else's phone, etc. I suppose that's how they get people to stick with crappy phones. You put your information on it, get it set up, and even if you hate it you end up sticking with it for awhile.
With our air conditioning repair looming in the next 2 weeks, I totally bough into the idea of waiting to get a new one and just sticking with what I have for now. After all, this is a total first world problem. I even felt silly complaining about it. I'm lucky to have a cell phone.
Thomas has been perfectly fine with his phone and he really hasn't been able to see why I'm so bent out of shape at all most of the time. Then last night, during an update, his phone froze. It's been frozen for 18 hours now. He came to me, told me from the very beginning he knew Windows phones were crap and that he was done with it.
And .... drumroll .... he took his in to replace it telling me he wouldn't settle for Windows Phone crap. He wants out of the contract and into a new phone.
My phone which I begged him to take too? NO!!!! He told me it makes calls and texts and to forget it.
So after we made an agreement to wait, he completely renigged on it. I was the phone hater and HE is getting a new phone because HE works and HE needs his phone for important doctor functions.
Just whining, I know!

I completely stink at making decisions which is why I've been perfectly willing to let him pick a phone and also explains some of why I feel like I don't know what to do with my phone. I have phone paralysis.
