Cell phones
So, apparently, the phone model I have is no longer being carried by Cingular, despite the fact that I bought it last year.
Which means they no longer carry batteries for it either.
And I need a new battery! The 1-year warranty is up, and the battery has significantly degraded. I need to charge it every day, just about.
However! With the power of the internet at my disposal... I can get the battery I need at less than half the cost Cingular would have charged.
Lesson here? Buy phone accessories online, not from the dealer. And - I might be needing to get a new phone in the next year or so. Maybe I should do that online too?
