Samsung Omnia Lite B7300

I purchased this phone a month ago in replaced for my Samsung Omnia Pro.  You could say that I’m a tech junkie so I always want to get the new one.  I opted for this instead of the Spica because this has a radio.   I got a mail from Sun saying that I can get a new phone if we renew our contract.  The free phone isn’t as high-tech as the one I’m selling.  In fact, it’s just a colored phone simply for making calls, texting, and taking pictures.  Anyway, the reason for me selling this is that i never really got use all of its features (simply call, text, wifi).  The full capacity of the phone isn’t really used.  Such a waste on my part, thus, the reason for me selling it.
