Thanks guys. I got a MyTouch Q from one of the local repair shops for
$100 bucks, not bad. I need to see if I can rooted as it running 2.3.6
of Android. I like to have something a bit modern. It has a keyboard
so a plus for me as I fat finger too much when typing. I think my next
plan if I have to replace this phone to have all my calls go to my
wife phone so I can just buy a new one. She is the CFO.
Worse part the other phone was it was giving to me to help replace a
black berry that got stolen. So I am hoping I don't have to get them
a phone to replace this one.
