Samsung sph m540 evdo pcs - an epitaph

My cell phone, my poor little cell phone, has died.  Despite the fact that it's been dying since the day I got it, it's served me pretty well over the 2 years.

I'm going to start off by saying that it was not a smart phone.  Not in the least.  I guess since it had a capable keyboard, you could place it on the phone intelligence scale, but it would be set right at the bottom, next to rocks.

As far as I know, it was called the Samsung Rant.  Now please allow me to rant.

• it would turn off randomly
• the images it could take were only acceptable quality when making huge files
• the keyboard was loosing its ability to type, deciding that "P", "O", and "Space" weren't important
• the face buttons lost all their paint quite fast
• the alarm would fail to go off sometimes
• and then, the alarm would go off, randomly, "Hey, it's 4:38pm!  You told me to go off at 8am, but this is much better!"
• it would beep, extremely loud, every time it received a text while reading a text, writing a text, or stuck on the screen saying that my text has been sent
• it would freeze and crash when receiving a text while sending one, and delete all my messages
• it could only hold a hundred texts at one time, about half my day's quota
• when sending a text that put it over the 100 mark, it would beep extremely loud and tell me about it, stopping me from doing anything else for a time
• when receiving a text during this message, you guessed it, it would delete everything!

Of course, I am still going to miss having a phone...

• No texting - obviously the worst.  My average messages sent/received for a day was 200.
• No alarm clock - I better learn to wake up on my own...
• No phone number to accept job offers
• No easy way to get the current time
• No way to take pictures, videos, voice memos
• No looking at my girlfriend's cute face (as the wallpaper) all day anymore </3

I don't know how long I'm going to last without a phone, but really I was paying too much for it anyway.  I was thinking of cancelling it soon.  But I'm probably going to lose my mind without my phone... we'll see how long I can last.
