The Death of the Butt Phone!
May 17th, 2007. Published under General. 5 Comments.
I’m finally doing it. I’m getting rid of the Butt Phone*.
My cheap nature and stubbornness has paid off!
Soon, I will be the proud owner of a Motorola RIZR Z3:
Closed.
Open!
In that color too. They call it “Rose” but it looks more of a dark magenta to me. I don’t care. I’ve wanted one for the longest time, but T-Mobile only carried the blue one - and I really don’t like blue.
Also, since my contract was up, I get the phone for CHEAP. Even better!
I’m not sure how long it will take to get said phone, but most likely I’ll have it by next week. Unless I go to the actual T-Mobile store and get it. They probably don’t have the phone, or else they won’t have the deep online discount.
But yeah…no more Butt Phone! Woo Hoo!

* - I really don’t know how my Nokia 6010 got that nickname - it’s more of a brick than a butt. I’ll have to ask my Tech Snark co-hosts about that one, since they’re the ones who came up with the name.

Dude .. it’s called a butt phone because if you have it in your pocket and you sit on it you can accidentally make a phone call with your butt. As opposed to the sassy flipphones or something like what you got.
At least, I think that’s why it’s called the butt phone. Check with Tara.

@Jennifer: Why would you put a phone that big in your pocket?! WHYYYYY??? I thought it was because it was as big as my butt. ;-)
@Sande: I can’t wait to get it!! I’ll take pictures!!! :-D

A: I REALLY need to see a picture of this “butt phone” you speak of.
B: I was totally looking at exactly the same phone this morning on T-Mobile’s website!! I love it! I also love the Krazr. I also kind of like the 2-for-1 Razr sale, as I have a family plan and can use the second phone as a very tangible bribery tool to get the small child to do my evil bidding.
C: I’ve just noticed that you put the name of the “butt phone” in your footnote, so I can go check that shit out myself!
D: Congrats on the new phone! I love new phones!
