Help. I'm having an identity crisis.

[Slayerik]

Soooooo....yeah I'm kinda stuck with this phone due to some separation stuff (long story).

Any ideas on how I can take this out of my pocket without feeling like a chick? I'm not sure I wanna take a sharpie too it, or or some kinda like ......decal or something for it. It is actually a damn nice phone. Anyone know about Verizon and how they work trade-ins and stuff? The nearest real verizon place is way outta the way so I figured I'd fire away here. Thanks

[K9]

That is one hell of an ugly phone.

[Nebu]

That's the exact phone my daughter had before she changed to AT&T and got an iphone. 

Oh... now I get what you mean with the "chick" comment.

I have the black version of that, which replaced the pink RAZR I inherited when I dropped my old phone.  I actually have a black rubber skin you can wrap around the EnV2, I just took it off because it wasn't worth not being able to feel the keys.  Should be able to order it through Verizon Customer Service if going to a physical store is too much of a PITA.

Or you can just suck it up and use it as is.  It's not like it's pink (or even as bright as it looks in that pic, my daughter got that version of it).

I don't see the problem.

[Big Gulp]

I don't see the problem.

Same here.  It's burgundy.  "Ooooh!  Chick phone!"

For Christ's sake, it's not like it's hot pink with Hello Kitty and daisies all over it.

I mean, shit, I have a Virgin Mobile pay as you go phone because:

A) I hardly ever have to put more than $10/month into it.

B) Unless a killer is after you I don't want to hear from you.

C) I refuse to text.  Fucking refuse.

[rattran]

Yeah, be confident enough in your heterosexuality to use a fuschia phone.

Or get a matching sundress and bonnet, fag.

I think my problem is, I'd use a pink & Hello Kitty flavored phone and it'd be awesome. Sadly, they are not available.

[tazelbain]

Have considered becoming a chick to match your phone?

[Salamok]

Yeah, be confident enough in your heterosexuality to use a fuschia phone.Orand get a matching sundress and bonnet, fag.

FIFY

[Ingmar]

You could use the phone around me and I'd never notice. I thought it was brown.  

[Sjofn]

Man, is anything with color besides black a "chick" something now? Yeesh.

[schild]

Not sure anyone said that?

[Rasix]

Ahh, another red/green color blind person. I love it when I'm told a pair of pants or shirt I have isn't brown or grey. 

[Yegolev]

I don't see the problem.

The problem is that two posters indicated this is the phone their daughters use or used.

Slay, you're going to have to make your calls from inside a toilet stall from now on unless you can find some 1337 PSP skins to stick on it.  If they still make the Hellraiser Cube one, I recommend it.

[Nevermore]

Man, is anything with color besides black a "chick" something now? Yeesh.

The cool chicks use black anyway. 

[Nebu]

I'd totally use that phone.  The comment about my daughter (aside from being true) was meant to be funny.  

I guess I failed.

FWIW my motorola phone is exactly the same color.  I like it.  Maybe I'm gay and I don't know it?

[Sky]

For Christ's sake, it's not like it's hot pink with Hello Kitty and daisies all over it.

I'd love to see some badass biker with a phone like that. Staring people down /daring/ someone to make a comment.

[Yegolev]

I was also trying to be funny and maybe I failed.  I need a larger sample of respondents.

Maybe I'm gay and I don't know it?

No, you're just old and don't give a shit or have different sensibilities.  I'd use that phone, no problems, but I'd probably use a bagphone too if it had the Cat Party ringtone.

[Big Gulp]

No, you're just old and don't give a shit or have different sensibilities.  I'd use that phone, no problems, but I'd probably use a bagphone too if it had the Cat Party ringtone.

I'm still hoping that purses for men will become respectable.  Car keys, wallet, cell phone, iPod.  I'm supposed to carry all this shit in my pockets?

Call me a fag, but I want a purse.

[Yoru]

Messenger Bags are in with the kids now, Gulp. I have a messenger-bag murse. It's awesome.

That particular shade doesn't strike me as particularly bad. As long as it's not indigo, purple or bright pink, I'd say you're good to go.

Another way to man it up a bit, Slay, would be to stencil your ganking killcount on any available surfaces of the phone, jet-fighter style. That might just shift you over to being an incredible nerd, though. Alternately, racing flames. Everything is better with racing flames.

[nurtsi]

Dude, that phone ain't girly. My previous phone was pearly red . Sometimes when I had to answer it, I stood in a corner and faced the wall so people wouldn't see it. I got rid of it. Now I'm feeling butch with my fruit phone.

[Stewie]

No, you're just old and don't give a shit or have different sensibilities.  I'd use that phone, no problems, but I'd probably use a bagphone too if it had the Cat Party ringtone.

Cat Party!? pff, welcome to 6 months ago, I'm into dog party now. 


I loved that show and just watched the last episode yesterday.

[Yegolev]

Wat, there's a Dog Party ringtone?  zomg

[Sjofn]

Do you try to bluff like you know what color something is? Ingmar will often take a wild guess at what color something is (blue versus purple is my favorite). I always forget he is guessing until he guesses wrong. 

[MrHat]

Get your hands ridiculously dirty working on your car or strangling a python to death in the Amazon.

Then use your phone to text manly things to people.

The resulting dirt and/or blood will cast all doubts of your manhood out the window.

PS: Sorry re: separation.

[Sky]

Let's not get into tossing someone's manhood out the window.

[Slayerik]

Burgundy with like a purple hue to it.  I held it to the screen and this one is quite a bit more purple.

It's a fuckin' chick phone. To make matters worse, I now am the proud owner of an 05 Silver Crysler Sebring Sedan. Another separation gift (and thanks Hat).

So I am a single man with a chick phone and chick car. The car I can handle, as it is pretty nice, but the phone won't do as is. And I have been kinda dating for a few weeks now, and EVERYONE fuckin texts these days. This is good for me, as I never failed to score chicks back in the day once I got them on AIM. I have some sort of IM 'game' that works. And so far so good in the present.

Anyway, this isn't about Slay's latest action...it's about this fuckin' phone. How bad is that cover thing Mahrin?

And schild, nice title change.

[Salamok]

On a slightly more serious note I bet with a little social engineering you could order a new shell for it in a different color.  Call verizon and give the the omfg I just broke my brand new billion dollar phone and i don't have insurance.  "It still works great but the guts are hanging out of it!" Just keep em on the line with circular logic until they let you order the part (a nice black replacement shell) through their tech department.  Or just say screw it and add insurance before driving over it with your car a few times.

[HaemishM]

His chick car probably can't handle the emotional stress.

[Viin]

You should get these to go with it:



(hotlinkedbitch!)

[Lantyssa]

Niiiiice color.  That would go great with a lot of my fancier dresses.

Well played, sir.

[schild]

Well, at least give us the whole story. Wat happen? Can we blame Eve? Or did you pk her?

[UnSub]

If he pk'd her, she dropped loot that was bind on pick-up, and dye colours are hard to find.
