New toy

H and I are Tracfone customers, pay as you go fanatics in the cell phone universe. I have an ancient model that I almost never turn on. I use it for emergencies only.

Well, I saw a sale on a smart phone, or maybe it's an almost smart phone, but it had mobile web access and it cost only twenty bucks, so I bit -- and now it's charging and in the manual looks overwhelming. It's amazing maybe. We'll see.

Meanwhile I gave a first reading to about half the scripts and have at least one "natural born screenwriter" in class. Always good to see. Only one shot a video last term, this term four are tackling it.

Now I'm waiting for the plays. But the phone was what I had to sign for, so I can go get coffee any time now.

Did I mention this is a great day?

I have the same phone as you, the Tracfone LG800 and I find the keyboard great for texting, I use my thumbs and I play music videos and surf the web on this phone when looking for restaurants and accommodation while travelling. I find the Tracfone coverage great because they use the major networks and you can get Tracfone service for as little as $7/month. As long as I don't use my phone allot I'm saving about $60/month using Tracfone prepaid plans.
Enjoy your phone.
