Startac RIP

As my friends (MGDub & Steve) have defected from their Startacs in recent months, I've been getting a lot of flack for my "retro old school ancient" Startac. I argued, I love my Startac and it has a great "true" ring that isn't annoying. On Sunday, I spilled water on my phone when I absentmindedly placed an open water bottle in my bag. Even more embarrassing was my inability to function without the phone. MGDub laughed at me because I had to call her to get Adam's number. Last night I trekked over to the mall and picked up a new phone. I was resigned to rebuild my phonebook, but my Startac's screen magically turned back on yesterday, which enabled Verizon to transfer my phonebook over to the new phone.
