A year ago I updated my ATT plan and bought a new phone. I made a rational decision and bought a phone that had a QWERTY keyboard and no other bells and whistles. I resisted the fancy smancy Blackberry and Iphones figuring I could use the extra money for frivalous thinks like food and water.
About a month into my new two year contract I started regretting not going for the Iphone or Blackberry. Everyone I work with has phones that surf the web, record videos and have access to all sorts of cool Apps. I had my sad little phone that could send texts but not much else.
I started surfing the web comparing different contracts and phones. I would build a plan and place it into the online cart and come oh so close to pushing enter only to stop just short. To upgrade I would have to pay a fee and then pay an outrageous amount of money just to obtain the phone. I am cheap by nature and I just can not justify the expense.
Now, the internet is all abuzz about the new Iphone and I am swept up in the excitement and cannot resist the temptation of getting my greedy little hands on the on the bloody thing. I figure it comes out the end of June so it gives me time to set aside funds to pay for changing contracts and purchasing the new phone.
I was not caught up in the Ipad frenzy, because I plan to purchase a new laptop towards the end of the year. I am far more responsible when purchasing computers and televisions and the like, but phones cause me to go so crazy.
