Re: Too funny!
Tue, November 30, 2004 - 4:52 PMThat is exactly what I need. I go through my phone list of dialed/missed/received calls just to piece together the evening. My old phone said how long each call was which really helped. I NEED this service. Right now I just remove anyone that I do not want to embarass myself with and then the next morning I put them back in my phone. -

Re: Too funny!
Wed, December 1, 2004 - 4:22 PMI know what you mean. The call timer is always my life saver...i figure if its under a minute...woo, I am saved, but anything over a few minutes, and I don't remember the call...that is when it get scary. Its like, do I DARE call that person again, obviously I was having something meaningful to say! And its always terrible when I can see the prgoression of calls that go from the hottest guy I know....to the least.
