My old phone just died.
I paid $19.99 + tax for a nokia "pre-pay" phone, for use with t-mobile(i hate locked cell phones, should be illegal) from wal-mart.
I'm not using pre-pay service, it's just the cheapest phone you can buy in the US to use with a t-mobile sim card.
Sure, no web and no camera, but you know what? I've got hundreds of $, not only in the cost of the phone but also in the cost of phone service, in my pocket that I wouldn't have if I had an iPhone.. not to mention iPhone service fees(like $80 a month for everything, right?? ridiculous) and the possibility of limitless numbers of apps to purchase.
I'll put that into a bank account. Or towards snakes. Or fishing. Or maybe a new hobby.. I've always wanted to get into target shooting. Or just blowing up watermelons. 10-gauge shotgun perhaps?
No way I'd trade any of those possibilities for internet on a phone. Thank you, my laptop is all I need.. My digital camera and phone can all be seperate. No jack-of-all-trades technology wanted here.
