What if you could care less about phones as long as they work?

I guess if your work required features that certain phone provides...otherwise, what's the big deal?

Or am I just old/stupid/all of the above?

I think both of you have more money than me for phones.

Give me some of your money and I'll get an iPhone

Depends on what your hobbies are. If you like tech/gadgets then you probably have a phone with a data package of some sort...texting at least.

Side note, we should be dropping off our accepted counter offer on a house tonight...hooray...no more ****ty neighbors after 2 more months.

Thanks, I'll try and get some pictures this weekend since I would like to walk through and take some measurements for washer/dryer.

Just awaiting final verbal confirmation tomorrow but the accepted offer has been faxed/delivered to the builder so it should be all set.

I'll post up more info once it's 'official'

Damn, I'm jealous. Congratulations though!

A house is another item on the list for 2009.

House before iPhone. New snowboard before iPhone too.

Congrats laak! Make sure to write a nice letter to tell your neighbors about how wonderful they are
I think its time for me to buy a single family and rent out my whole duplex Or just sell my Duplex and put all that wonderful cash that I built in equity into a new nice home with windows that dont suck in the winter.

Mike why did you get rid of the 850r?

If you drove the car it just didnt feel right. Plus AMS has a hard time proving things. I knew it was going to bite me in the pooper
