unlimited after 7 PM & Weekends, free long distance and unlimited sprint to
sprint connections - for family communications.
$39.95 monthly, I believe. 1 year contract. 2 free phones.
They just sent me a letter offering a 10% additional discount on the monthly
rate and the first 60 minutes of long distance free on my residential phone if I
will agree (for 1 year) NOT to switch to another carrier! LOL

| The problem with my old Nokia was (and I consider this one of the worst
| design flaws I've ever be hit with) that the belt clip attached with a metal
| grip - but that grip was clipped in to the PLASTIC back of the phone. So
| the first time you put any stress on it (like getting out of a car with the
| phone wedged) it rips of part of the phone's back leaving your $6 belt clip
| perfectly intact.
|
| Bad industrial designers, BAD!
|
| The new phone doesn't seem to have any capacity for a belt clip. I'd like
| one, but it'll have to be a holster. First thing tho: I've got to buy my
| wife a new faceplate (she wants purple) - we've both got the exact same
| phone now and I keep grabbing hers. ;^)

|
| Well we often do as much (the brick for a few minutes a day) with our
| laptops. :) Though I think the cellular industry by and large is
| really missing that "happy medium". I think the Motorola I have is in
| that happy medium vicinity -- most of them are just way too small
| imho. As for Dick Tracy, yellow rubbers asside, I got out of the
| habbit of wearing a watch a few years ago and at this point I think
| it's one habbit I'd prefer not to get back into. :)
|
| Though I found that I can't use the plastic belt-clip for the
| Motorola. If I get something for it it's got to be the leather case
| that encloses it completely (at which point I think I prefer my
| regular pockets), 'cause my new car, nice as it is, is pretty small,
| and when I have the phone on a plastic clip it either interferese with
| my seatbelt, or I snap the clip in half when I sit down in the
| driver's seat. Good thing they're cheap.
