Fine, I must be a crackhead but I think I’m gonna get an iphone. I am not an early adopter, or a techno geek…. more like an Amish grandmother. I got my first cell phone less than 2yrs ago after caving in to pressure/mocking from my 12 year old niece. I got a Palm treo 650. My 77-year-old mother already had a 700 series. Hated it. Talked to tech support in India more than my family and it still never worked properly. My mom is on her third replacement phone, I just gave up. Which is why that iphone is looking good.. That and the fact that I already overpay for my full activation plan through AT&T.
By getting an iphone as a current AT&T customer/sucker, I won’t be charged an activation fee or any additional charges to change my service and switch plans. AT&T’s new plan for an iphone 3g will be about $70 per month or $20 less than what I pay now. Yes, I know my plan is rip-off since when the service rep looked at my usage (non-usage) he actually laughed at how few minutes I used. But before I shell out my money I’m going to look at other options, maybe pay by the minute plans but I don’t think the lowest ones qualify you for the $199 iphone. Anyway by the time I get around to buying one will they'll probably be even cheaper.
