The purchase was a bit of an adventure. I scoured ebay looking for the phone. I found a semi-local dealer (Monterey Park) who had T616s, the U.S. version of the 610. All 616s right now are Cingular phones, but the phones were unlocked. Now, at 5:30 on a Friday, I hop on the 10 east. How do people do that every day?
An hour, and many rush hour chats with
*Way too much driving* Everyone needs to live in L.A. So now I have my new toy. I'm sure I could surmise that the toys are just a distraction. They probably are.
But this one will display animated gifs as screen savers :-) Quickly scanning my porn for animated gifs, I located a Bel Ami gem that serves as a rather interesting conversation piece. I now alternate between it, the Matrix intro, and my friend Tony dancing on stage at Kurfew. Now why did I think about this now? I think just because I spent the last 20 minutes scraping the Cingular logo off the case.
Did I just avoid the whole toys being a distraction issue? I think I did.
