[BC] iPod warning

[Broadcast List USER]

Curt:

So, you are the guy who bought the third Nokia 6450i!

My wife and I carried them for years.

We still have them.  We have five batteries because when I was in  
rural Nevada I would go through two or three batteries in a day  
because I was a LONG way from the cell site, and it was AMPS (analog).

Still, people would see me using my phone and asked if it was a  
satellite phone.

People even had the balls to ask to borrow it.

It was, and pretty much still is a great phone, but it won't work  
analog anymore.

I still rotate the batteries through the chargers, and I have even  
pressed one into use with the SIM card from my iPhone when I broke the  
iPhone.  Who would guess the phone would have a problem with a 35 foot  
drop?  The phone is happy with the SIM card, but switching back to the  
iPhone requires a phone call to get the virtual voice mail working  
again.
