I can’t wait to select ring tones together, to assign special tones to our human friends, even photographs of them when we see them. How I will integrate you into my life and how again, my friends will become annoyed that I ignore them in favor of you, how I answer your subtle, European ring tone call even in restaurants and shops because you always have news – and often, it is good news. And now, since you are the number on my resume, you are my last great hope.
One day, you will bear the news of a new job and I cannot wait to hear it – I cannot wait a s I sit and wonder which ring, where will I be, and as I flip open the phone and my friends give me that look, and someone on the other end says, You’re hired, I will know it is only through you that I could receive such good and happy news.

You need some human contact, babe...

Brilliant! Absolutely loved this, Sadi. Can't wait to hear more about the 'little flip cousin'.

thanks - he just arrived today and is blue and very chic, though i'm still sad about the first guy. i'm like, mourning my cellphone. how pathetic, but it's true.
well, time to get used to the new one. i will in due course. i just can't bring myself to throw out the old guy. maybe we should have some kind of electronic service for him, and so on... with music by ringtones and the like...
?
it's a thought.

Yes, closure is always good....
Maybe you could keep him in a special case, in a special place...
