Hmm. Probably can't top that, but.. Got two new phones in the last three 
days. Why? Old one was a junk throw away they gave for free, with no 
features, but I could, with some tricks, get images and a midi file that 
"sort of" didn't sound horrible onto it. So, I request a phone that 
supports MP3. I get a "newer" model W385, which has no SD slot, no 
support in 4.5 of the phone tools at all, no way to get things on/off 
the phone, other than contacts, except via the data options, like web 
access, which I don't pay them for... Hmm. Ok, but I "can" cut a 30 
second bit from the MP3, buy a $50 version of Phone Tools 5.0, which 
supports it, then sort of upload the file, kind of..

The other option? Take the damn thing back, pay $20 more for a new 
Motorola RazrV3, which, because its an update of the V1 *is* compatible 
with the version of the tools I have, and upload/download any damn thing 
I want from/to it, including full MP3s, or any pictures I might take 
(other one had a camera, but you could only email/upload them via web 
access to get them off the phone).

I have, at this point, stopped trusting *anything* anyone says about 
hand held devices. Your lucky if you can run 3rd party stuff written for 
them properly without them crashing, use the features without 14 addons, 
or a higher cost plan, or special software, and half the time what "is" 
on them doesn't work all the time.

Nice to know I can look forward to the same BS from cars, if/when I ever 
get one. lol
