My New Cell Phone

I needed a new phone so I went to the Radioshack near my working place and chose this one. It turned out that Wendell needed to designate me as an authorized purchaser in order for me to buy it myself, so he said he would just pick it up at the Hawaii Kai branch. I thought it was sooo neat, very small and narrow. It fit perfectly in my hands.

My very first conversation using it went like this:

Me: Hi Les, I got a new . . .

Les (softly): What?? I can't hear you, you're cutting off . . .

Me: Wait Les, I can barely hear . . .

Les(softly): Hah? Hello, hello . . .

Me: Where's the part I'm supposed to put by my ear anyway? HELLOOO!!! HELLOOO!!

Les (softly): What? I can hardly hear you. Hello . . .

Me: How do you make this louder? LES!!! HELLO!!

Les: *click*

So I go home and I tell Wendell, "I don't like my new phone. I can't hear." He goes, "Whaddya mean you can't hear? You put the ear part by your ear and you listen. I don't know what you're talking about." I say, "I can't hear and Les can't hear me either. I don't like it. Can you return it for me? Where do you want me to put it?" He points to the chair. Could've been worse. He could've pointed somewhere else.

So we went back to Radioshack the next day, and I got this phone instead.

It slides up. I love it. AND I can hear good.
