SomehowI think I deleted the post I just typed. Anyway, I live in a little town called Iraan, just off I10 about an hour east of Ft. Stockton. Or you could call it about 3 1/2 hours west of San Antonio. Either way, it's the middle of nowhere.
Can you believe we only received cell service last July? Alltel had to put a tower in town for it to work, and they had to work YEARS to get Alltel to agree. There are so many ranches and oilwells, and now windmills, that they finally agreed. And they don't share the tower. AT&T gets zero service here, along with all the other carriers. It's Verizon (since the buyout) or nothing around here. And 3G? Forget it. I mean, the wireless ability on a reader might be nice, but useless around here. I am thinking of the 700 just for the size, since I could turn it sideways to use. I'll just have to see, and try to save up my birthday and Christmas money.
That makes me sound like a youngster, but I'm going to college, my son is taking college classes in high school and we had to buy him a vehicle, and my daughter just totaled her truck two nights ago. She's just got a bruised up face, but there's another car payment we'll have to make. *sigh* doens't look good on the reader front.
