Anyone need a Google Voice invitation? I have one left to give away; first commenter gets it.

For those of you that I've ever had any Gmail contact with, is Google Talk sending out requests on my behalf that I don't know about?  I just got some notifications via Trillian about responses that I don't recall having sent out. o_O

Possibly related:  WOOHOO! No phone in picture since phone was used to take said picture.

Well, I have a new (sort of) phone. I say "sort of" because description ("New Motorola V635") to the contrary, the box reads "Refurbished in Singapore". Which probably explains why my keypad contains mostly Chinese characters. XD At least the language is set to English; if I'd had to try to find preferences in Chinese, there would've been a problem. It's unlocked (obviously), so I need to get network settings and such from Cingular. It seems to receive calls okay, but making them is proving oddly challenging.

This is exactly the problem with my phone, except mine oh-so-considerately waited until it was fifteen months old and thus out of warranty to start freezing up. The Cingular store in Tyson's was a whole lot of no help when I asked if there was anything that could be done to fix it, which doesn't surprise me since the first words out of the guy's mouth when I handed him my phone were "I've never seen one of these phones before". :-P Long story short(-ish): not eligible for a new phone at a discount from Cingular until the end of October (and they don't offer this model anymore, it's long-since discontinued), current phone can't be repaired under warranty, so I see eBay in my future and I don't know yet when my cell number will be in service again.

[Edit: Will try a different store tonight to see if it might be a problem with the sim card that swapping might help. If I'm lucky, that'll do it, but from what I've found it doesn't seem promising.]

[Son of edit: Even without a sim card in the phone at all, I get the same problem. It's apparently something screwed up in the phone itself. Snagged a Motorola V635 quad-band phone on eBay.]
