philly

It's been six months of me using the Sprint Power Vision phone I got for the Sprint Ambassador Program. It hasn't been too bad. The reception in my apartment never got any better using the Samsung A920 pictured above during the six months. Nor did the amount of time it took to re-connect back to the Sprint service once coming out from the underground SEPTA tunnels. It took several blocks to get out of roaming.

Downloads were easy and fast. The video was never a great quality, but hey, it's a teensy screen and it was relatively error free. The video jumped here and there, but there isn't that much processing power inside that little thing.

Now, I have a gently used Sprint network phone I no longer need. I'd like to give it to someone who would like a new phone (which still holds a perfectly good charge for a few days), but I'd rather give it to a needy organization. I tried to give an old cell phone to a shelter back when I was in NY, but they actually had an excess of phones. I was in the 'burbs and not much of a go-getter at that point, so I just recycled it at an electronics store. But I'm in a big city and there has gotta be a place here who can make good use of the phone.

I've deleted my addressbook from the phone (the next person's not gonna be needing to call my friends nor Pine St Pizza at all hours of the night), but left all the downloaded ringtones (Baby Boy-Beyonce, Big Poppa-BIG, Bombs over Baghdad-Outkast, Hips Don't Lie-Shakira, Holiday-Weezer, Ignition remix-R Kelly, It's Like That-Run DMC, Jesus Walks-Kanye West, La Tortura-Shakira, Last Nite-Strokes, My Humps-Black Eyed Peas, One More Chance-BIG, PIMP-50 Cent, Scenario-Tribe Called Quest, So Wat'cha Wat'cha Want-Beastie Boys, Such Great Heights-Postal Service, Sweet Child O'Mine-GNR, Temperature-Sean Paul, The Good The Bad The Ugly theme) plus a few city-specific wallpapers I used for friends and their respective cities as caller ID.

So, if anyone knows of an organization that can make good use of a perfectly good Sprint network celli, I have the phone, charger, headphones, USB cord, manuals and box all ready here to hand over. If I can't unload it in the next couple of weeks, I'll give it to someone who hates their current Sprint phone and wants a new one.
