My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
I dreaded searching for a new cell phone because I really liked my previous one (which I had for almost three years), yet the non-replaceable battery was starting to go, and the phone in general was starting to act glitchy. I didn't pay a lot for the phone, so I consider myself blessed that it lasted three years. But do you know how you get used to a phone after having it for so long? Your phone becomes like an old friend, so when you have to get a new one, you're hoping it will be just as loyal and true as the old one.
Let me start off by saying that I absolutely REFUSE to spend a small fortune for a cell phone. Frustrating as it is, I would rather cope with getting a new one every couple of years than spending anywhere from, $500.00 to almost $1,000.00 for a phone. To me that is completely ludicrous. Even people who buy iPhones complain that for the money they spend, it's not worth it because iPhones are made to last only a few years so that you're made to purchase a new one. It's like buying a new car, the second you drive it out of the showroom, it immediately depreciates because something better is being made to replace it.

Call me cheap, but I won't spend over $100.00 for a cell phone.
My previous phone was $60.00. My new one was only $88.00 (tax included)
I decided on a ZTE Blade Spark because for being an inexpensive phone, it received a lot of positive online reviews. I also decided that I wanted a larger screen than my previous one because I had trouble with the smaller keyboard and trying to text. My other phone was only 4.5". This new one is 5.5", which makes it soooo much easier to text. I can use both hands, where as with my other phone I could only use one finger while pecking at the keys. I would take me FOREVER to send a text.
Another thing I love about this phone is how slim it is and how comfortable and secure it feels in my hands.
Here, take a look...
But the greatest feature on this phone is the camera. OMG...it's faaaaabulous! My other cell phone camera was good, but not great. What blows me away about this phone is that I can use the camera on manual mode to adjust the settings. How awesome is that?
For the past several days, I've been using the camera to take some photographs to show you the quality of the images.
Ready...set...go....

A nice feature on this phone is that I can unlock it using a fingerprint reader. I also love how fast the processor is - I can literally fly around the Internet with just a quick touch of the screen, with no delays.
This phone also comes with a Dolby app, which allows me to adjust my music so that it sounds perfect!

Yes...I'm VERY happy with my new phone. And I have a feeling this is going to be another loyal and true friendship! 💗
Have a super week, y'all!
