LG enV3

Yes, I got a new one. This is very hard to resist especially when they give to us for free. How can you not upgrade to the newer version. I said that I will not get a new one until my last one is broken, but that one did not last last very long. When DH got his we are also due for renewal and by renewing for another two years, he got two new cell phones for free. The image below is mine and for my ODS is blue. Now my old one is our home cell phone and the old home cell phone is empty and outdated cell phone. It's a waste of materials when no one can use the old cell phones. I know some organizations collect them and do something with it, but I am a little paranoid about it. I rather separate all the pieces and keep what is valuable and disposed the rest.

You can see the features of my new cell phone below. I am not into texting, listening to music, and web browsing with the phone. I like my 21" monitor and big keyboard anytime. However, given another circumstances I would probably use all the features listed below. I like it that I can easily connect this via USB to my PC and drag all the music I love to listen to however, I will never use it because the kids are always with me and I need all of my 6 senses (or more...lol) to tend on them. I also love the cell phones these days, I can easily copy all of my files from the old one to the new one. Before, I have to type all of my contacts now I can easily transfer to each other. And they I mention free cell phone is always nice?
