My cell phone is a Motorola V-197 it's been a tough little beast and
it's about as bare bones as you can get. i wouldn't say that its
really as bare bones as I let on, because you can get internet on it,
I suppose. I've looked up NY Times and MSN for news on it, but it's
slower than a dead dog. and it's not set up for text either. I dont'
know how much the Cellular one service costs, because the wife takes
care of all that. At least I'm not to the point where I feel like I'm
naked if I dont' have the cell phone with me.
