battle of the cells.

dedicated to my dad.
.
.
Yesterday, Perry got a new phone.
Perry has t-mobile.
We were at my brothers baseball game when he decided to go over and get it.
I didn't really want to go,
but told Perry I would.
I made him call before to see how long it would take.
The girl at t-mobile said it would only take a few minutes.
.
Me: "ha, a few minutes? Who are they kidding?"
.
So we go over to t-mobile.
Perry had already looked at new phones on the web,
so he knew exactly what he wanted.
.
We walked in, and were shown the phone perry wanted
[G1 my touch]
and perry said: "I'll take it!"
.
So we went over to check out.
.
The girl scanned the phone,
turned the phone on,
switched his SIM card,
took Perry's method of payment,
and said:
"Okay, you have 14 days to return it, if you don't like it.
But I think you'll love it!"
.
Just like that.
We're done.
.
Me: "Seriously, that's it?
You don't have to take his phone in the back, for 45 minutes?
You don't have to make 23 test calls?
You don't have to print out 14 receipts?
What's wrong with you people?"
.
I, on the other hand, have Verizon.
Now, don't get me wrong Verizon is great.
But seriously, we were in the t-mobile store for a total of 20 minutes.
And the only reason we were there for that long,
is because the guy showing us the phone was showing us all the awesome apps.
.
I did some "window shopping" myself,
and t-mobile has so much cuter phones than Verizon.
Plus, they don't have terrible service.
plus, plus, Perry paid less then $150,
my p.o.s. was almost $400,
of course my dad paid it :).
.
Definitely, when I pay for my own phone T-Mobile,
will be the way to go.
