Best thing I've ever done with a smartphone. And I was very lucky - had a couple of folks who really wanted our Droid Razr's - covered our upgrade! (Timing is everything!)

    Yep - Will - you will be her hero! The only problem will be - it's a 3G phone. No doubt she will be wanting the iPhone 5 upgrade shortly when it's sometimes slow. It's a slippery slope you're on...
    Oh, you don't have to tell me. Of course, this thing will be like 50computeryears newer than her current flip phone brick.

    LOL. Prior to the Droid Razr upgrade, momma and I had "50computeryears" phones. We could not even donate them they were so old (....although I hear some telephone museum picked them up for .10 each at a Salvation Army store and they're one of the leading attractions...)

    Now it's gotten to the point, though, that momma has recognized the smartphone can do more than just make calls. But there is no going back - momma won't have any part of that...

    Right after your post this morning there was a great commercial for a local pawn shop - a young lady opens a package and finds an iPhone. I wish I could find it and post it - I imagined it to be representative of what your house will look like when she finds it...

    Oooo I cut her card down and it works! I'm so excited.

    I want to go burn one now in celebration, but it's almost 1, and I better just pack it in because the little one patted me on the arm tonight at bedtime AFTER I thought she was asleep and said "I'll get you up tomorrow, as soon as there's light in the room"
