$500 phone...

But not for me. :D

DH's line was eligible for an upgrade now, so I got to use that... then when my line is upgradeable in July, he can use that if he wants. He already has a Droid and probably won't need to. 

I now have a fancy phone with a pink cover, AND all my contacts transferred over. Plus there is a rebate on the phone that will get us $50 back. Happy day. :)

Re: $500 phone...

  • So did you get a droid or iPhone or something else.

    Droid something. Pro? 2? 

    It's "global ready" or somesuch junk, so I told DH we have to go back to Italy now. :D

  • Well it only makes sense to go somewhere to truly test out the global readiness of the phone. I mean what if it doesn't work! ;)

    Yes 

  • I have NO PROBLEM spending that much on a phone (DROIDX).  I use it constantly.  Whether for email, internet, facebook, GPS, tracking calories, tracking exercise using GPS, contacts, calendar, tasks, camera, grocery list.  It is my everything and thank technology for inventing it.  LOVE IT! 
  • I'm with ya, Tig.  I love my phone.  If I could, I'd marry it.  Kidding.  I had one friend when I told her about my fertility tracking and all that say "gee, can you pee on the iPhone for the pregnancy test too?".  Not yet, but I will tell you this - the iPhone got my due date right, and predicted a girl too.  So how about that?!  :-)

    This is very impressive!!

    Interesting.  It took me about three months last year to convince myself that spending $150 on a phone was justified. 

    I'm such a cheap ass when it comes to technology.  It drives my husband crazy because he loves getting the latest gadgets.  On a regular basis we debate when to upgrade the various TVs in our house.

    Me too! When I told DH today that I couldn't fathom spending more than $200, he actually said, "Good luck with that." 

    Since I've had this number (2003, I think?) I've always alwaysalwaysalways gotten the simplest (free or $20) "new every two" option. This is the very first time I've ever had a data plan.

    I want an iPhone big time, but my sticking point is paying for the data plan. I can't get over paying for internet twice.

    Yes, that really bothers me too.   

  • I'm still holding out on the smart phone too. 

    I can see how they would be really handy.  For other people.  Unfortunately, my husband thinks he's one of these people.

  • Eh, I used to be really bothered by the data plan cost as well. When ATT rolled out the really cheap option, I got suckered in thinking I would stick to it. Ten days in I was over my limit and called to upgrade to more data. I love my iPhone and get tons of use out of it. The data has been worth every penny.

    You can DEFINITELY get them cheaper than that.  I just saw a commerical on TV for the iPhone 3GS (the older version) for $49 if you sign up for a two year agreement.  The memory is the smaller one, but it'll do everything an iPhone does.

    This is what I did just a few months ago. I don't regret it at all.
