Tele-phooey

Setting what must be some sort of consumer electronics record for epic failure, my third Treo 650 died yesterday. My IT department is ordering me a new phone—the Treo 750—and it will probably get here in a few days, but in the meantime, I don’t have a phone.

Yes, I recognize the absurdity of purchasing the next iteration of a product that has absolutely, definitively not worked, but among the options, I think it’s the best one. Either that, or I go back to paying for my own phone service, and since this is basically the one perk I get from this job, you will have to pry the phone from my cold, dead hands.

Although you might not want to bother, since it probably won’t be working.
