seriously, its almost too painful to read this blog knowing im missing out on all these contests because im canadian. :P Motorola C350 here. 4th generation used. i thought i had a chance...
an LG shine be awesome, but after reading some of other comments here about their 'ghetto' phones, i gotta say, i'd be happy just to have theres! i end up missing half my calls due to the ringer volume being so quiet, i have to clear my incoming text messages at the end of the day due to my phone running out of space for them!! and my reception sucks ass. i dont even want to experience what its like for the person at the end of the line. anyways, anyone got a 'ghetto phone' they dont want anymore, i'd be happy to upgrade to it. punrkrawker at gmail.com
