No more Samsung A920

I've decided that it's not worth all the hassle to get internet on my PDA through this Samsung A920 Phone. While we would end up getting the phone for free anyway, I decided to return it for a different model that won't be so overkill for a new Cel Phone. The A920 is very cool....but it's way too much for me. It playes MP3s, takes pictures and video, connects to the internet and a lot more I don't even know about....but I don't need all that. I found a different phone that is much cheaper that looks cool and does everything I need it to do as an upgrade to my current Nokia phone. The Samsung A640 is the one I plan on trading 'down' to. It has a speaker phone, a VGA camera and Bluetooth technology. At this point I don't hink I need anything more than that.

The special deal we are getting through Qwest is that we got a $150 bill credit for renewing a contract on MY Nokia phone. By upgrading my wife's phone to a new one, we still get the special discouted price for the new phone ($99 for the A920 and $39 for the A640) So either way the phone is free PLUS a credit. This just means we get more of a credit by getting the cheaper phone.

In order for me to get the new phone and not break my current phones contract was to get my wife the new phone, activate it, then change the number. It all went very smoothly, but now that I want to trade phones, it's a bit of a hassle because the original contract on that phone was on my wifes number. Confusing I know. Hopefully it gets sorted out and we don't have to pay a $200 cancellation fee. We shouldn't need to since I am cancelling before my 15 day trail period is up.

Anyway, I am disppointed that I won't have all-the-time web access through my Palm TX, but I am excited about a new phone. While the Nokia 3586i worked great, the new phones are smaller and sound better....hopefully they can also pull in a stronger signal.
