My green EnV - here today, gone tomorrow
Posted on December 27, 2007 in Personal thoughts by DM
To whoever found my phone, probably in the Dahl’s or Walgreen’s parking lot on East Euclid on Christmas Eve, I’m sorry you didn’t have the character to turn it in to the store’s lost-and-found or even answer it when I was frantically calling its number to try to locate it. I hope you enjoy the wallpaper picture of my friend’s dog wearing his motorcycle goggles, at least until the battery goes dead.
A week before Christmas I learned that my cellular phone contract was up and it was time to pick a new phone through Verizon’s “new every two” program. Instead of just walking out with whatever phone would be free-after-rebate like I usually do, though, I decided to splurge on a green LG EnV because it has a 2 megapixel camera. (I’d been wanting an easy-to-carry, lower-priced digital camera to snap photos for blog posts, and this seemed like a good solution: get two tools for the price of one!)
I carried the phone around for a week… and on Christmas Eve I discovered I had lost it! I was… I am… heartbroken - I really, REALLY loved that phone! It had a flip-up cover that revealed a larger display screen and full QWERTY keyboard for flying through text messages, and the camera was excellent. And with our new family plan with its unlimited text, picture, and email messages, I could snap a photo no matter where I was and then email it to myself right away so I wouldn’t lose track of it before writing the blog post. It was truly going to be the perfect piece of technology for me. And now it’s gone.
And to make things even better, they had added the price of it to my bill, so I haven’t even paid for it yet. How much fun do you suppose that will be, writing a check to pay for something I lost within a week? Yeah.

[...] of technology. I went and paid for a second LG enV cellphone over the weekend, to replace the one I lost on Christmas Eve (after owning it less than a week). This photo of my friend’s dog gives you an idea of how [...]
I’m really sorry that happened to you!
Mine lasted about 4 months- I lost it about a month ago, 3 days before I went on a school trip. I was hoping I’d find it when I got back, but there hasn’t been any trcae of it. I guess insurance is worsth it.
Dana - I never did find the original phone, but I do still love my replacement! Thanks for reading! ~ Janet
