Anybody Have An Old Sprint Phone They Want To Get Rid Of?
My phone (a Touch Pro with Sprint) is in need of repairs. I have it covered through BestBuy’s protection plan, but they want to charge me $150 deposit for a loaner. I obviously don’t have a $150, but they can activate any Sprint phone while my phone’s getting repaired.
Heck, you can have the thing back when I get my phone back from the shop (4-6 weeks they say).
I’m at the point where I’m upgrade eligible, but I don’t know if I want to stick with Sprint come renewal in January or not, so I don’t want to tie myself down to another two-year contract. That is, unless somebody buys me an Evo or Epic or some other Sprint Android phone, then I’ll just shut up and deal with it as I don’t think I’ll get a cheaper plan anywhere else.

The reader who sent this to me called it a 15-minute time killer, but if you’re not careful, Solipskier is an addicting little game that will kill far more of your day. I managed to get 378,759 642,908 points (really need to quit playing this) somehow.
Time Killer For The Evening
Wake The Box 2 (original is here) is just as fun as the original but certainly trickier.
Something For The Wishlist
Nothing like four-player table-top Pac-Man to liven up the party.
