Dammit

For future reference: A Treo 650 doesn’t work too well after running through the washing machine. Now I’m gonna be out another $600, plus I won’t have a cellphone until Monday. This happened not even a day after I finally sold my old Treo 600… at least I got $200 for that.

Update: The SD card in my Treo is fine. I haven’t lost any data.

Update 2: I have a phone. Got a free after rebate Nokia from the T-Mobile store with a 1 year contract extension, which is fine since I have no plans to switch anytime soon and I’ve been with them almost 4 years now. I’d been meaning to get a backup/spare phone anyway.

Poker related… I’m putting a bounty on myself for the WPBT Winter Classic. Whoever knocks me out gets a Poker Padz mousepad (thanks to Grinder for finding them, and posting a comment here so I could find him!). These things look cool. I’ll put up a review when I get it. I’d also be interested in getting custom ones made with the WPBT logo, but the information page says minimum custom order is 200 units. Would anyone else be interested? Unfortunately, I don’t think we’ll quite get enough people wanting one to make that happen.

I’m sure I had other things to say, but this Treo thing has pissed me off to the point that I don’t want to write anymore.

I took my sell phone on a golf course last year – had it in my bag. bag tipped over and I moved on to the nest hole. After he round – no cell phone. I knew exactly where it was. Walked to the 2nd hole and what I found was my phone in 2000 tiny pieces – it was mulched my a mower.

So I picked up all the pieces and took it into US Cellular and asked if they repair phones. They said yes what is wrong with it.

I put my hand into my pocket and put the 1000 pieces on their table. LOL!!

They took back what they said about fixing it. BASTARDS!!

My husband washed his cell/pix phone not 2 days after we got it. I took it apart into a brazillian little pieces, loaded the whole crapload into a food dehydrator, turned it on low and let it bake for 6 hours. The phone works perfectly.
