Well, we did it last night!  I told Sheila that we have bought new cars in less time.  But it did seem like the right thing to do at the time.  We bought ourselves new cell phones!  We discussed just going to the T-Mobile store to 'just gather information', but we finally ended up with 2 Samsung Galaxy Note II's (mine in black and her's in white).  Now we are both suffering from 'techno immersion syndrome' or 'geezer mind overdose'.  But we were able to dial a phone call and receive a text before the night finally came to a conclusion.  But the  horizon is still quite overwhelming.  I am starting to understand that it is kinda like a marriage when two strangers have to get to know each other.  (my hands and that pad).  We both think that once we finally start to learn how to use it that it will really change our life.  Can that be?  It is only, well not just a phone, but a portable computer and yes, we will probably be doing stuff more and better and may change some.  Right now I am focused on today, Friday, but so looking forward to tomorrow and the family/temple/Maddox's time that we have scheduled.
