Bell vs. Rogers Round 2

I wouldn't have guessed, but it turns out I have more to say on this.

For starters, I clear up how I feel about that other carrier: Telus Smellus.

Things that I like about Bell so far:

-They aren't Rogers.
-My new phone has a full QWERTY keyboard, a big screen, an cutsie little blue flowers. Yes, cutsie little blue flowers.
-I am probably a good target for advertising using beavers. ;)
-They aren't Rogers.

Things that I don't like about Bell, so far:

-No SIM cards. SIM cards are kind of genius. This is the first new phone that I have had where I couldn't just pop in the SIM and have all of my contacts immediately. Also, I always kept a backup SIM, so in case I ever lost my phone, I wouldn't also lose my contacts.
-Their automated voice system is SUPER annoying. For english, please say......'English'. Thanks, Bell, I'm glad you told me, otherwise was going to say 'Go fuck a goat'.
-The beavers names are 'Frank' and 'Gordon'.
-I emailed them a question about how to use a specific feature on my new phone and they sent me back a link to the manual. Assholes.

Really? Two whole posts about your phone company? Interesting. After I watched you text your way through an entire Flames game I thought perhaps you just prefered K's texting to live conversation with me (well, she is a very entertaining writer). But now, I have a new insight - you're (gasp!) addicted to your cell phone. I know - it's hard to hear, but someone had to tell you. Hey buddy, I'm there for you if you need to talk about it. You can phone or text me anytime.
