When I last spoke with you folks, I mentioned that we arrived at WDW very prepared to break away from our often moody, hormonally-challenged teen girls. We brought CELL PHONES! 
OK, so there we are at MK, turning our girls loose while we're ready to have some of our own fun. Uh, it didn't quite work out that way, as you may have guessed.
First sign we were in trouble was right after riding Big Thunder, DH gets a voice mail on the cell. It's DD, telling us they were planning to hop to MGM. OK, fine. DH tries to call her back and finds that his phone has completely locked up. Key pad isn't working at all. Well, after a couple hours of swearing at the phone, he decides if this vacation is going to run smoothly, we need to get to a Sprint store and get this phone thing taken care of. So, we find a phonebook, call a Sprint store in Orlando, give them a call - "Sure! Just come on down and we'll take care of it for you sir!"
Again, once you leave the boundaries of WDW, the magic dissipates pretty darned quick. We find ourselves in a million year traffic jam which turns a long drive into a REALLY long drive. We finally find this rathole and DH goes in, I decide to wait in the truck. Good thing I had a book to read. After an hour, I decided MAYBE I should go and see if he's been abducted. Well, it turns out, he's STILL waiting in the line. I kid you not. This is true. Of course, by now, he's swearing up a storm and about ready to murder someone, so I quietly exited and went back in the truck.
My main concern at this point is not that the cell phone doesn't work. MY main concern is I MIGHT MISS SPECTROMAGIC! It's the only day it's running, and it's already almost 6:00 - and we are nowhere NEAR WDW at this point.
Oh, and I guess I should mention that I hadn't had any communication with my girls since we split up in the MK, and now I'm wondering what they're up to. We didn't even have our room number yet, so they had to be wandering the World somewhere - lucky for them, they had charging privileges on the UPH pass, so at least they could eat.
To sum it all up: Girls ended up back at ASMo, begged a desk clerk to tell them the room number and found their way into the room before DH and I did. Their only regret was not having their luggage so they could go swimming. So we found them laying in the room watching a Lifetime movie (the first of many they watched that week if you can believe it). The idiots at Sprint were useless. Told DH they could send him a new phone to the hotel in a few days, but he would have to drive back to the store to activate it. I'll let you use your imaginations to guess what he told that store clerk.
When we next meet, I'll let you know how Spectromagic went, and I'll tell you all about my new boyfriend...

I had to purchase a new one because I "lost" the n200(read it died and fell behind the tv) so i figured I like samsung flips and got the n400 it locks up all the time and th eonly way to fix it is to take the battery off and put it back on which eats more of the life etc.... i do have a question for anyone who has the n400 does your car charger fall out of your phone all the time? would like some feed back on this one .I do love the ability to download stuff I have stitch as my screen save and treasure planet animated ringer which is too cool
