Let's do the Time Warp Again.....

Right, uh, I'm am not good at keeping up with things. This blog for instance. Lol

So, I bought a new cell phone. I got a Sprint, PalmOne Treo 650. This thing really rocks. I'm a longtime user of Palm products. I am very familiar with the interface, have a ton of software that, usually, just works, and I already have all my addresses and phone numbers and stuff ready to sync. Oh what a dream.

Or so I thought!

Well, the I got keeps crashing. After talking with Sprint Tech support, it seems mine has hardware problems. Not biggie, they are going to replace it for me. But OH THE HORROR of dealing with the Sprint Store.

Ghetto Hoes on the phone, 20 minutes at a time on hold (hello, this is a small store, NOT Sprint Corporate)., People telling me not only that orders are placed, but when to expect them in, only to arrive at the store to find that nothing was ever ordered in the first place.

I really could go on and on about this, but I think you all get the gist. I love my Sprint phones (I accept the occasional lemon, but why do I always seem to be the guys that gets them), I love my Sprint service, but I HATE HATE HATE the RUDE AND STUPID EMPLOYEES AT THE SPRINT STORE!!!

Have you had a bad experience with the people (any carrier, Verizon, Sprint, Cingular...etc.)? I wanna hear about it.

OH! I almost forgot, people may wonder why I bought the Treo 650 when the 700p is out and a bit more fabulous... It's like this, If I want the 700p, I have to get Sprint's Power Vision service (much faster data connections). It is REQUIRED for the phone. Power vision costs 2.5 X what regular Vision costs. So, I'd have to go from paying $10 a month for data to $25 a month. Ummm, I don't bloody think so. This is the ONLY reason I didn't get the 700p.
