cell phone is down...

[jay]

Temporarily, while the NASA telecoms office transfers the number over to my new phone -- a Treo 650 that apparently came in yesterday. I should be able to pick it up this afternoon... good thing, as my old 3-year-old Motorola T720 is both flaky and the batteries barely recharge.

In the meanwhile, my cell number is unavailable this afternoon...

Having picked it up, I was dismayed to discover that they had decided to switch me from Verizon to Sprint. No wonder the Treo showed up so quickly... I'd planned to wait until Verizon had it in June. This means that various Verizon-using folks who used to get free mobile-to-mobile calls to my phone, now won't... plus, Sprint appears to have zero reception from my office. Feh.

If you can untangle the service provider problems and get your number assigned back to verizon, I can find you a conversion process (http://php.chol.com/~mines/photo/028/) for the phone. Hell - I could do it myself if I had the cable - they cost about $50 to buy, or $20 in parts and 20 minutes with a steadier soldering hand (http://shadowmite.com/650serial.html) than I've got.

Just sayin'.

(nods) or I could wait for June and hopefully get EVDO and 1 Mbit/sec with the labelled Verizon version...
