Everytime trying to put it back on the clip and just after talking to some girl.

I lost three in one weekend!!!! One was lost at work. New one got left on the fender of the trailer after I did a bit of bearing work and then the power went out so I could not see what I was doing. I was so concerned about not forgetting my friends tools I forgot about the phone. Well I get out on the road and decide to test the breaks, hit them hard and I hear the phone slide past me on the road!!!! Well then I get another and I am out on the 21 foot Seabold and hit a wave and the thing lands in the engine well. I was pumped and was climbing back to get it when boat cuts across my stern with a wake and it goes right into the well

Then out at Havasue Dougie Fresh and I were messing around and he went to toss me into the pool and at the last second as I was going in I grabbed him. TWO PHONES DOWN THE DRAIN. Mine was 600 bucks and I am sure his was not cheap either.

The best phones were the old BRICKS. You guys remember those? I put one of those through the wash and at the bottom of the lake they would not die!!!!

I use FoneSync4.0

They make cords for most of the cellphones out there. With this software and my computer I can dump my phone numbers into the computer, and when the phone goes byebye, I can dump them all back into the new one.

So far this has been done on 3 phones.

I recommend this to everybody.

(bought my FoneSync off Ebay for $10 and my cord for $15 from a cellphone website).
