My X girl friend used to text the hell out of me. I always thought it was 
kind of pointless since we both have email but she had an unlimited plan 
with her provider. Where as I did not so I would try to be more frugal and 
consolidate my messages and combine them as best I can as different from her 
looking for things to do at boarding school. I really don't have much need 
for a cell phone anymore though. I am amazed at those places in the mall you 
can plug your phone in to for a quick charge. Now if they'd make ones for 
the HT, we're in business. Not that I run out of batteries on it since I'm 
selective how I use it, but it would be cool. Often when people see me with 
the hand held they ask if it's a cell phone and I tell them it's an early 
manifestation of one.

217000 text messages in a month? Don't these people have a life? I send so
few I'm thinking about tracking my 400 messages in for 200 and 50 MB of
internet on my phone.
