I was eligible for an upgrade since Monday, and today I finally did it. I was looking at some of the free ones they were offering, but the one I really wanted and liked was only $20 bucks, and I could live with that.

My mom had questions, so I was just going to call and ask them and order it online 'cause they were the one with the deal. So, I called, asked a bunch of questions, and somehow mentioned the phone I wanted. (I was asking why when the one in Red (refubed) would be in-stock) and she said that she didn't know. She then said that she would be able to sell me the new one for free. YES, FREE! after mail in rebate. But, you know what, I could put up the $50 now. I don't mind.

The phone I'm getting is the Samsung C417 Gold. I've seen the phone around and I really like the design of it. My old phone was such a brick, and I'm not even kidding. It was thick and clunky. This one is thin and purty. I've read online and around that the buttons are flat and that it is hard to dial by feel, but I've gotten used to my mom's razor, so I think I'll be fine.

So. YAY!
