Johnson's Journal #1 - Be mindful of what you have

I had a completely fine working phone & simply because I could, started shopping for a new one.

Before I bought one though - I was wisely talked out of it by my friend who pointed out that I had several months left on my contract and didnt really need to spend needlessly on something so frivolously.
(yes it was a she)

Anyway,  I decided that if I couldnt get a new phone I was gonna get the latest update for the phone I had (Motorola cliq)

My current software was the 1.6 and there was a new one available but it was a bit more of a to do to get it uploaded onto the phone - a 35 minute "to do" to be specific.

After lots of reading, downloading and waiting - I finally got the update on the phone and was very excited....for 20 minutes - because after those 20 minutes the phone became so very, very, verrrrrry slow that it became almost unusable.

I spent most of the rest of the remaining week or so complaining (mostly to the friend that talked me out of the stupid purchase)

She finally got sick of hearing me whine and said "Just solve the problem".

Simple words - but they somehow resonated loudly at the time.

She was right. If I fixed the problem - my frustration would cease.

So I did.

How? I called T-mobile and thru much trial and error and many different technical support reps I finally got the problem fixed....

By downgrading back to the phone I had when I started the whole thing.

I now am so very happy to have back what I had originally - and now realize I never needed a new phone at all.

So, whether its a piece of tech or a good friend - appreciate whats in front of you or you may end up with something you not only dont need - but that doesnt work as well as what you had.

Peace
