My replacement-replacement-replacement phone!

So, so far this is the replacement phone that I have that actually works! This is an LG Chocolate VX8550. My previous phone was the VX 8500 - the very first chocolate... it was RED and beautiful. I was actually given a Maroon VX8550, but it had issues and had to be replaced with this black one. Hopefully this phone won't crap out on me. I was offered a brand new chocolate 3 but I don't like the flip phone... plus it's huge! I opted for my 3 referbished phone, which seems to be working out fairly well.
I'm hoping that this one behaves itself so that I might be able to settle down with my phone. I want to prevent it from being scratched to hell, so I've been looking into the invisibleSHILD [by Zagg]. Sadly the older chocolate and chocolate 3 are both on clearence for like $7, but the chocolate 2 seemes to be still trendy, because it's still about $25.

Here's to not dropping my phone before I can get an invisibleSHILD for it!!
