Sucking and chewing on a cell phone

Last September I bought a Treo 650 PDA/Smartphone and was very happy with it. Over time one thing bothered me though. I was paying for unlimited data transfer on Verizon Wireless network, but was limited by the Treo’s slow speeds (hardware limitation). Usually when I come home from work I let Logan play with my 2 cell phones. Yes, I do have 2 cell phones. 1) A personal phone for me and my own business and 2) one (Blackberry) from my dragging full-time job as a Windows System Administrator. Logan loves cell phones a lot. We even gave him an old one we were no longer using and he loves to answer all those “incoming calls”.
Anyway - a drooling baby mouth sucking and chewing on a cell phone is probably not the best treatment for a Treo 650 cell phone. I wonder when they finally make baby-proof cell phones for adults? Don’t they know that stressed parents enjoy moments of silence while baby is quietly playing with the toys provided?! ;) duh ….
The phone itself is still working, but the microphone quit working. So, I can make one-way phone calls - meaning you can talk to me, but no matter how much I yell at you, you cannot hear me. Fun, isn’t it? Well, I decided to bite the bullet and get me a new cell phone in the middle of my contract. I knew that I had to pay retail price and would not get any discounts, but getting a new high-speed Internet enabled phone was very tempting. So, after some quick research in the morning I decided to get a brand new Motorola Q (Moto Q) from Verizon Wireless.
During lunch I went to the closest store and did spend about $500 in phone and accessories. Crazy. I am just glad that my business is going good lately and that I am able to afford these kind of expenses when needed. So, here is my new toy 
The Moto Q - a really cool phone for me.
