I’m the proud owner of a Samsung D-807 cellphone. And it’s a very nice cellphone - except the little bugger won’t sync with iSync. And my wife recently got me hooked on eBay. I’m sure you’re already aware where this tale is heading, but let me spell it out.
I finally got tired of non-syncing, and, at the same time, didn’t want to really buy a new phone. So I figured I might invoke the power of eBay, and buy a cheap phone. Much happiness ensued when I found a dirt-cheap Treo 650 - except I didn’t quite read the posting. It clearly said it was a defective LCD screen and had no battery, charger, or other accessories. Yes, I know, not a particularly smart move.
Anyways: Now I’ve got a Treo 650 (without battery, a potentially broken screen, etc.). At first, I thought I might just find a battery and see if I can fix this thing up. But that would’ve meant spending a lot of time on fixing and hunting down parts, plus probably some extra expenses for spare parts. And time is the one thing I really don’t have - if I had the time to fix the phone, I would probably have the time to make iSync do my bidding. In other words - I’m giving up on the project.
Except - I’ve got a phone on my hands. And I don’t like throwing things away - I’ve got sort of a green bent. (Blame Green L.A. Girl…). So here’s the question: Would anybody out there (preferrably in L.A.) like that phone, for fix-up or spare parts, or whatever else you do with old phones?
You might try putting it up on freecycle, or on the “free stuff” section of Craigslist. I’ve gotten rid of a lot of stuff that way –
