My old cell was dying a slow painful death. It had to be charged every couple of hours, it would send random nonsense texts (my son actually called me to see if I was having a stroke after getting one of these texts), it would get to hot to keep in my pocket, and emails and texts were not all being posted. Not good if you are communicating with doctors via on line portals! I finally gave in and replaced it. Set it up last night and so far so good. The only thing I don't like so far is that it seems huge compared to my old one - that will take getting used to. My question is why are they so darned expensive? Since they are manufactured overseas I highly doubt the overhead warrants the prices they charge. Let's face it, I am cheap!
