Wow - what a savings!^

There's some African lines for you, ALCO.

Be sure to post some pictures when you get everything finished. I'm thinking of ordering one later this year when I hit 500k logged on FM.

I just called Sprint to complain that my Samsung ACE "world phone" didn't work in Panama despite the fact that they were willing to sell me an international plan with the full knowledge of where I was headed. When I had called them from PTY, they gave me $25 off of my current bill which doesn't really help since my company pays for the service.

During this call, I asked for a discount towards a new phone that would work where I needed it. The agent put me on hold for about 10 minutes to look up my account history and came back to offer me the HTC Touch Pro 2 for $99 :eek:.

Since this discount was all handled internally, she said it's possible (but not guaranteed) I'll also get a form to send in for a $100 mail-in rebate.

I think that deserves a check in the "win" column. ^

Adding on to the existing FM or keeping each 1MM separate?

BTW no charges for that 20 min call from PTY ^

If I have a BB8830 and six months left before I can upgrade, WWTBD? I have no issues with BlackBerry, so I'm not as inclined as some others might be to switch device manufacturers.

Back from workout. This was perhaps my best post-broken foot/achilles tendonitis/swollen knee workout. ^ I still have a long way to go.
