She made up for it last night though... Spent $400 at Best Buy for a new phone. About 11 months ago she sees the stupid spider commercial on TV advertising the Samsung Infuse and just has to have it. I tried to tell her to wait a few months for the Samsung Galaxy S II, but she insisted. She was eligible for an upgrade and we went ahead and got her the phone. We also bought the insurance plan and buy buy program as well, but everything out the door was still less than $150. Well, a couple months ago, she drops the phone in a porcelain bowl of water, which she assured me was clean. So off to Best Buy we go to get a new one under insurance. The whole process was pretty easy, they gave us a loner phone and the new one was in in a few days.

Well, it was refurbished (which I knew it would be) and it was junk. After a couple week of problems, we do the process again, and get another refurb that's worse than the first. Finally she'd had enough and we went to Best Buy last night and I raised hell, which did no good. Their answer was that the phone was discontinued and based on past experiences, we were just going to keep getting refurbs until we got one that actually worked.

Then I remembered that I bought the buy buy deal, and they ended up giving us $300 for the old phone which went toward the $630 new one. So, after all the taxes and shit, we walked out with a new HTC One X for $400. She get's another upgrade in January, so hopefully she can make this one last that long...

I will say the phone is awesome though. It's a quad core with Ice Cream Sandwhich and is pretty dang smooth. Makes me want a new one...
