I'm just bad at consuming.

So, in other news, I've got an agreement with Verizon where they'll give me a new phone every two years if I agree to sign a new contract with them. I've been waiting for my current phone to hit the two-year mark (notably, the first one ever to do so in one piece), and went out this weekend to get a new phone.

I got a RASR. And I kind of like it, but I have misgivings. Most notably, the RASR is a flip-phone, and I'm less-than thrilled with those. They're inconvenient, in my opinion, having to flip them open to use, and they break more easily than solid phones (like my old phone which survived it's contract).

I have about half a mind to go in and exchange the RASR for an LG Chocolate, which is a solid-type phone with a slide-down keypad and a touch-screen interface (apparently).

I like the RASR's talk-to-call and Bluetooth capabilities, but apparently Chocolate has the same bits.

Does anyone out there know anything about either of these phones? Any reason why I should drop the RASR or avoid Chocolate?

The Rasr isn't so bad...i have one. the only thing i don't like is it's difficult to get online through them. but most phones aren't worried about that anyways. if you're worried about it breaking, best buy sells plastic, transparent casings specifically for rasrs. they're like $20.00 for a three pack.

I was told that razrs are like glass, but I've known several people who have them and those haven't broken easily.

Oh, and the chocolate is hott.

This is kind of like what I was saying at rennfair, it takes forever to buy something new, then you get a few minutes elation and two weeks regret before you start to enjoy your purchase.
