This, as you may or may not of guessed, is a rant.
Okay, I got my new phone. The LG Xpression, or whatever.
Before I can talk about that though, I must go back.
Back to my old phone.
Here is what I use the phone for:
Contacting people when needed
Texting friends when bored
Using texts to send to twitter.
That's it. Sometimes I take pictures, not often, sometimes.
What are my requirements in a phone?
Full Keyboard
Unlimited Messaging
That's it. I just want to send my freaking tweets/texts.
I was horrified to see my options when I set about getting a new phone.
First off, all touch screen. This isn't the kind of phone you can drop all the time. It WILL crack and you WILL have to live with that.
Second, all web browsing. Great! I don't have a data plan!
Third, all trying to be a smartphone without being a smartphone.
As previously stated, I don't care what the hell it does. As long as I can contact people when I need to and tweet.
So I get my Xpression.
Touch screen, web features I can't use, fancy camera options...all that jazz.
The big feature of this phone is supposed to be texting.
The keyboard is fine I guess, conversations option is something new for me, super easy to add media to the text.
It passes with flying colors then right?
Wrong.
I send a tweet from my phone.
The biggest thing I use my phone for.
Later I look at the tweet online and it's been spilt in two.
I recommend skipping the next paragraph.
WHAT THE FREAK? WHY DID YOU DO THAT CAN I NOT SEND TWEETS? THAT IS WHY I'M OKAY WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO GET ONLINE! IF I CAN SEND MY TWEETS IN ONE MESSAGE THEN I CAN USE THIS PHONE BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT I FRIKKEN USE MY PHONE FOR. I TWEET I TWEET OFTEN AND I TWEET WHEN I AM AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER. I DON'T GIVE A DAMN IF I CAN RECEIVE TWEETS IF I CAN'T SEND THEM. I DON'T CARE ABOUT ANY OTHER PRO IF I CAN NOT SEND A TWEET IN ONE MESSAGE.
Essentially it splits the message if it is over 67 characters.
Dude, 140 is limit enough. I don't need my phone holding my back as well.
I'm dead serious when I say if I don't find a way to fix this it's going straight back to the store.

Are you doing what I think you're doing? No? Just scrolling past?
I guess that's cool too.
It would be great if you like...commented though. It means a lot.
Just a quick hello or something, PLEASE????
