{SOLD!} FOR SALE: Sanyo Incognito (cell phone)
THIS PHONE HAS ALREADY BEEN SOLD!
Thanks for the interest!
We’re switching carriers! I just ordered our new cell phones from AT&T and am looking to sell my Sanyo Incognito for Boost Mobile. For those who are unfamiliar with Boost Mobile, it’s Sprint’s no-contract line. Their unlimited plan is $50 and includes all the talk, text, instant messaging (AIM, Yahoo, or MSN) and data you can possibly cram into a month. I’ve been with them for about 4-5 months but between myself, Barry, and Briyana, we can cut our bill down 1/3 by doing a family share plan on AT&T so that’s what we’re doing. {If you’re on AT&T let me know… I need a mental note of who all I can call for free LOL!}
For someone who only has one or two lines, Boost Mobile is a great way to go… I LOVE my phone. When you’re in rural areas, you don’t get as good of reception as you do in larger areas (when I’m at home, if I walk around the house holding it with my shoulder as I do other things, my call drops…) but even in the MOST rural of areas, if you talk with it on speakerphone or with a Bluetooth headset, the call quality is as clear as it is in the city which is *crystal* clear.
This is about as close as you can get to a smartphone without actually getting a smartphone. I got it for $149 at Radio Shack; it sells for $129 through Boost Mobile’s website. It allows just about any sort of java download – I have a full Bible on it as well as the Opera Mini web browser which allows you to view just about any website as you would on the computer. The home screen has a carousel which lets you get to any application quickly. I have no idea how many text messages this thing holds because I’ve yet to be able to fill it up. I have at least 50 people’s tweets sent to my phone via SMS and had over 700 unread text messages at one time before without ever getting a “your phone is almost full” notification. Niiiiiice!
{By the way, that’s a code, not a phone number so don’t try dialing it LOL}
You can send and receive text, photo, and video messages and the phone also has a native email application which downloads your email directly to the phone – you can add multiple accounts (I don’t know how many, but I have two in mine right now) and it has Yahoo, AOL, AIM, Hotmail, and Gmail settings already installed. You can also add IMAP or POP mail.
THIS PHONE RECORDS VOICE CALLS. I’ve had a lot of phones that wouldn’t activate the recorder during a call. This one does. I don’t know how useful that is to everyone else, but when I’m talking to the gas company about an extension, I like to have that on record just in case they decide to disconnect me anyway. It’s never happened, but it could. LOL There is a full QWERTY keyboard, 2MP camera (with which I took all of the photos in my “Perfect Saturday” post), a dedicated SMILEY button (how nice is THAT?), and a 2.5mm headphone jack. The front of the phone is a touchpad. It’s a mirror, but when you activate the touch keys, they shine through it. There is an app on it called Things To Do that lets you search for restaurants, bars, movies, events/tickets, music, and directions.
I also have Google Maps installed on it. It doesn’t have GPS though, so you DO have to put in your starting location. It has a microSD memory card slot, for which I’m not including a memory card — sorry, I need mine for my new “HTC Tilt 2” :)
I’m selling the phone for $60 PLUS shipping.
I will ship it however you want it shipped (UPS, FedEx, US Postal Service, etc), but it’s on YOUR dime. You can pick it up in Hattiesburg, MS if you buy it by Monday; otherwise, it can be picked up in Ruston, LA. Here are some additional photos:
Let me know if you’re interested.
Zoe, My 2-Year-Old Problem Solver!
Zoe is my 2 year old genius baby. She’s too smart for my own good… and tonight, she proved this even further than she previously has. She brought me her empty Sonic cup and pointed to my route 44 sweet tea — then pointed back to her empty cup. Zoe is a pointer. She uses that little index finger to say what her mouth is too lazy to blurt out. She’s spoiled, what can I say? LOL So, I look into the cup and notice that there are about five holes up and down the sides of it. I said, “Go get your sippy cup. I’m not pouring drink into that cup — it has holes in it.” Zoe peered into the cup, saw the holes, looked back at me perplexed, then grinned and walked away. She came back a few minutes later with this for me to pour some of my drink into:
LOOK MOM! No more holes… :)
Gay People Are An Amenity??
… apparently in Florida, they are!
What’s next? Interracial family friendly? Immigrant friendly? Bearded circus woman friendly? I mean, are there hotels that aren’t accepting money from gay couples? I can just see the waiver for that: “You two chicks can get this room together but only if you sign this form stating that you are NOT a couple…” I don’t understand the need to list ‘gay friendly’ along with the fact that a hotel has an elevator, laundry services, and a jacuzzi! Does this seem odd to anyone else? LOL It seems distasteful to me… like, “We’ve got a fitness room and GAY PEOPLE are welcome, too!”
Out of the Mouths of MY Babies
Lately, Zoe (who JUST turned 2 on June 27th) has been taking off her diaper when she “goes” in it. Even if it’s just a TEENY bit wet, she takes it off, throws it away, and comes to me with a new diaper gesturing that I should put it on her. 
Yesterday evening, I noticed her just walking around — naked. Here’s how our conversation went from that point:
- Me: “Zoe where is your diaper?”
- Zoe: *points*
- Me: (picking up the seemingly dry diaper) “Come here and let me put your diaper back on.”
- Zoe: *nose scrunch and BIG grin* “Naaaaassstyyy!”
I didn’t even know the kid KNEW how to say ‘nasty!’ I checked the diaper and gave it a closer “inspection” to find that she had, in fact, wet in it a little bit which was her grounds for refusal to put it back on LOL I got a fresh diaper and she happily laid down so I could put it on :)
Later on, as I was getting the kids ready for bed, Ava came in after multiple failed “can-I-get-some-juice” attempts and told me she needed some grape juice to get the water out of her mouth. Nice try, but no dice. lol A+ for creativity though!
Cabbage Soup Diet: I QUIT!
There is nothing I can think of at the moment worse than having to eat this stuff for one more meal. Maybe I’m exaggerating. Maybe not. I’ve never been so bored with a diet in my life! I’m officially giving up. Okay, so let’s be honest… I gave up over a day ago LOL As a matter of fact, Wednesday evening I celebrated giving up by having a pork chop. Here’s how my chat with Lynsey went this time (only my portion; I don’t publish other people’s ends of conversations I have online):
[8/4/2010 10:22:06 PM] Kat Robertson: I went ALL day only eating that freaking potato
[8/4/2010 10:22:20 PM] Kat Robertson: At dinner, I cooked pork chops, corn, grits, and cornbread
[8/4/2010 10:22:25 PM] Kat Robertson: and I partook lol
[8/4/2010 10:22:40 PM] Kat Robertson: In my defense, however…
[8/4/2010 10:22:45 PM] Kat Robertson: I didn’t make any for myself
[8/4/2010 10:22:52 PM] Kat Robertson: But Tre only wanted his grits
[8/4/2010 10:22:59 PM] Kat Robertson: So I couldn’t just let the rest go to waste hehe[8/4/2010 10:24:55 PM] Kat Robertson: We need to come up with our OWN diet plan
[8/4/2010 10:25:00 PM] Kat Robertson: Something we can actually stick to.
[8/4/2010 10:25:11 PM] Kat Robertson: There’s really no sense in committing to plans we know we can’t do long term.
[8/4/2010 10:25:23 PM] Kat Robertson: Isn’t that what it’s really about? Lifestyle changes?
[8/4/2010 10:26:49 PM] Kat Robertson: How about we try this out
[8/4/2010 10:27:14 PM] Kat Robertson: Every day, we’ll talk about what we’ve eaten, or what we’re planning on eating… what we’ve done or plan to do to exercise.
[8/4/2010 10:27:21 PM] Kat Robertson: And we will be HONEST lol
[8/4/2010 10:28:10 PM] Kat Robertson: That way, we’re less likely to eat anything horrible for us
[8/4/2010 10:28:19 PM] Kat Robertson: because then we have to share that news with each other
[8/4/2010 10:28:50 PM] Kat Robertson: And we’ll make a conscious effort to eat things that are healthy (or at least healthier) for us.
[8/4/2010 10:28:57 PM] Kat Robertson: More baked or grilled than fried.
[8/4/2010 10:29:00 PM] Kat Robertson: Stuff like that
[8/4/2010 10:29:15 PM] Kat Robertson: I think that will work a WHOLE lot better than this
[8/4/2010 10:29:35 PM] Kat Robertson: I mean, we made it through a few days of this mess with each other’s support[8/4/2010 10:53:43 PM] Kat Robertson: Ugh, you have no idea how wonderful it’s gong to feel to eat an omelet in the morning
Lynsey left her diet plan behind gracefully… she felt bad for quitting and actually wanted to make it the whole seven days, but she started feeling sluggish and it was affecting her work. I thankfully never made it to the sluggish stage… but I did get to the detesting-whoever-came-up-with-it-in-the-first-place stage and personally don’t feel bad at all for quitting. Not at all. At. All. I told her she can “leave” this diet as gracefully as she feels is necessary. I, on the other hand, will be dropping this plan right where it falls, which happened to be all over that pork chop Wednesday night :)
Now, I’m not trying to discourage anyone else from trying it out. If you can stomach cabbage soup for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for 7 days straight, you could totally benefit from doing this. I can’t. And I am woman enough to admit defeat LOL! If I have that much will power in my body, for some reason it just decided not to all come together this week… and seriously, when eating a graham cracker with cream cheese on a diet is considered “cheating” something is wrong. I’m just sayin’…
