I have a new cellphone. We dropped our old T-Mobile account and went with Virgin Mobile, since we were using a whole 30 minutes of the 1600 minutes we were given each month. Just made sense to move to a prepaid service, rather than a contracted monthly service. We'll probably be able to spend $50 every 90 days, rather than $50 every month, and I get a better phone out of the deal. It's a camera phone, no less. There's only one downside - uploading a photo to the Virgin Mobile website costs the same as sending a photo message - $0.25 per photo. Unfortunately, the Virgin version of the phone we have (there's also a Verizon version by the same manufacturer) doesn't support using a USB data cable to transfer images off of the phone. Looks like we'll still be looking at getting a new digital camera...

...after we get the new TV, of course. We're starting that fund back up (after having to tap into it a bit for Christmas and such), but we've still got the contributions from friends (thanks so much, you know who you are!), so we're back on track with that.
