its kinda neat. It wasnt really clear on saving numbers though. it says you can have 10 speed dial numbers, but does that mean you can only store 10 contacts? that would suck.

That's what a Rolodex is for.

That would be great for my 81 year old dad and mother. Nothing to confuse the hell out of them.
They got shit like that out already, it's called Jitterbug . Corny ass commercials for it on TV kill me. Something along the lines of grandma trying to use a regular phone which looks like she is trying to fuck a football, and then Jitterbug comes to the rescue. Haha.

John, you'll appreciate this,
i recently picked up a Tdi jetta and i asked my kids,
"hey guys whacha think of the new car?"
my 7 year old daughter says "its fine dad, but i still get the disco, right?"
i turn to my son and say "whacha think bud?"
he replies "it's lame..."
i then say " well thats a shame, cause it'll be yours when you turn 16"

then the little shit says "yeah.... that pretty much sucks."

awesome... :)

damn, I would've given ANYTHING for any kind of car at ALL when I was sixteen. A lot of other kids were getting BMWs and old VWs, I made myself a skateboard.

LOL on the VW. My dad was nice for awhile and I got to sport around in his 68 Malibu for awhile. Then he got tired of it and I got a 63 Chevy II Station wagon he paid $250 for. I never bitched about it but it was a disappointment. My kids have got what I buy them. If they want something better then they can get a job and pay for it themselves. That's what I did. When I was 17 I bought a 65 GTO convertible with my money from working at gas stations. Wish I still had it, worth way more than the $550 bucks I paid for it...lol

Edit: I wish I had the 63 Chevy II, too!

x2. Ain't even had enough money for public transportation at times. Had to walk. Every car I've ever had been bought by myself and I never in my wildest dreams expected my parents to provide things of that nature for me. I suppose you appreciate things that you have earned yourself more.

You could always, I dunno, just get a regular free phone and only use the telephone features, if you're really that much of a luddite...

Ballah, I think you definitely have a point there. That which is earned is far more appreciated. In high school, I worked as a gardener for folks in Pt. Loma, and used what I earned to buy wood and trucks to build a longboard. I probably could have eventually saved enough for a car, but the rest of my money was spent on carne asada and beer. :p

Exactamente... Never understood how kids whose parents bought them expensive cars and other items could show them off like the shit was their own. Earn it first, then parade it around if you like. No respect for the shit that was given to someone.
