This is my current cell phone...
It gets dropped at least 5 times a day. It gets sat on. It gets in the hands of little people. It gets the occasional slobber bath. And that is a good day. It is also about 12 steps up from the green screen cell I had before moving here. And it's actually not the first one I bought here. The first one was a Chinese brand, cost more than this one and broke in less than a year. While I was TL dealing with this and one of the worst possible times to be without a phone. So I had to buy a new one immediately. Got a great price with the only drawback being that I can't text Chinese characters, which can be quite handy here. I can however text in Thai, a language in which I know two phrases.
Anyway.
I, like many people, would love to have an iphone. Or maybe I am one of the few last remaining people to not own a smartphone of any kind. But I have played with those belonging to other people. Looked longingly at them online. And even purused Ebay for a good deal on a used one. But after reading this (I know this is an ipad and not an iphone but the screens are the same), and seeing a few similar pictures on facebook and such I am wondering if God is trying to tell me something. Are my wants outweighing my needs? By a lot? Not that it's wrong to want an iphone. I just have a perfectly good, working and durable to my clumbsiness phone that, at the moment, doesn't need to be replaced. So I will just be content in my red Nokia.
Although, if someone is looking to give their old iphone away, you got a taker right here.

but hey, i am sure your battery lasts three times as long as a smartphone!
If we figure out that we can't take our iPhones with us (still up in the air at the moment) then I will happily try to donate them to you!! :)
