Our 2 year AT&T phone contract has just expired and I want to upgrade my phone. After my previous phone died (of old age) I got a very cheap Go Phone and ended up putting my SIM card in it to get me by until our contract expired. After being stuck with a "crappy" phone for so long I want something nice and high quality.
I've been watching a reading reviews and Quickfire gets a thumbs up on the quality of calls and the keyboard, but the touch screen isn't very responsive.
The iPhone gets a thumbs up in every category as far as I can tell, it seems to be a favorite and the best out there. It can be used as a phone, an iPod, a way to watch movies, internet, email, and a way to play games (applications). The one downfall I see is the extra $30 you pay a month.
I'm only 17 years old and would be paying for the the phone and the $30 extra a month (if I go with the iPhone) and I'm just wondering if it's worth it for a teenager to have such a high-tech-business-man-type of phone? On top of the phone I'd pay $360 a year. I know I'd use it as an iPod and would use the applications. When we travel in the car I know I'd love to have my own personal entertainment system and would use the internet frequently. I have email and I check it regularly, but I don't need to be checking it constantly, so this phone is not a necessity to me. It'd be a luxury item (that I personally would be paying for) that I think I would really love and use constantly.
My question is do you think the iPhone wouth be worth $360 a year? Or should I just go for the Quickfire? If anyone has been in my situation what have you done? My parents think I will regret not having that extra money, but all my friends say it would be "the coolest thing ever" and I should go for it. I personally really want it, but if anyone has this phone, is it worth it? Any advice is very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Kalie
Oh wow...I've never heard of the HTC Fuze. Does the $30 extra a month apply to it as well? Information and oppinions of the Fuze are also much appreciated.
As far as I can tell the HTC Fuze is even more of a "high-tech-business-man-type of phone" and would be way too excessive for someone my age. But any additional information and opinions on it would be much appreciated.
