Cell phone R.I.P, revisited

Well, as it now turns out, my cell phone lingers in a state somewhere between life and death. It came back from the dead, but it won't charge. It only lives for about an hour when it's on, and then the battery goes dead. So... you can call me on it, but please know that it will be hard for me to get the messages. Home phone is probably more reliable. Arg. I'll let you know when I get a new one.
