Stoopid phone

[elfs]

This morning my phone crashed. Happens rarely, but it does happen. I just noticed: after the reboot, my wallpaper, the pictures of my kids, is gone. It's just a white screen.

St0opid Razr.

Aside from their ID number, most SIM cards only store the contact list, so if the phone BIOS resets itself...

They do make backup kits for some phones. "Consult your health care provider cell phone provider...."

Yeah...

...I got tired of my Razr doing similair Tom-foolery and got a newer phone recently.

I guess sometimes newer isn't better. I still use a first generation Razr that I've never updated. It's never crashed in two years. The battery life is shrinking fast though, so I'm in the debate now of whether to replace the phone with something newer or just replace the battery. I'd hate to lose the phone since it predates carriers turning off the bluetooth modem capabilities and I use it in that capacity to connect my laptop to the internet from anywhere a lot.

Quick web check - most seem under $20 but I don't know your specific phone...
