I got a samsung galaxy light, it should be here Friday. Of course I"m 
helping my in-laws move over the weekend so I'd imagine I'll probably be up 
all night Friday night playing with it. It has Jellybean 4.2 on it so 
hopefully I can learn enough to actually use it over the weekend if needed. 
Really not looking forward to having to learn a touch screen though in the 
least but my current phone is just too unreliable anymore with lockups, 
missed calls and messages, and what's making the battery hang on I really 
don't know since I've had to charge it every single night weather I use it 
or not and I've had it over3 years now. Hopefully I'm happier with the new 
one.
