PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"First generation: talk me out of this." |
My phone contract is about to expire. My phone pretty much already has: it's at the point where attempting to use any function is playing Application Roulette. What will I open? Who will I call? Only the random number deity knows for sure, and it ain't telling. Also, it canceled my health insurance under the rules of its own electronic faith, but never mind that for now. The point is that my contract is expiring, my phone is dying, and both pretty much deserve it. And in less than a month, Amazon will be releasing its own phone. I've been doing okay with the Kindle, right...? I still have to get exact details on any future contract, but the phone itself would cost me $214. And if I order Really Soon, that price will include a bonus year of Prime membership, which was $100 which I was going to wind up paying anyway... I do like to think of myself as that early-adopter 2% when finances permit. http://tinyurl.com/jwhha3g Someone talk me out of this. By Sunday. I think I'm ordering it on Sunday.

1. "RE: First generation: talk me out of this." |
You gave yourself a week to decide. Sounds about right. Some time to ponder, but not too much, not so that you’d get mired down in indecision. I am the least qualified person I know to give advice on this, but since that has never stopped me before, here goes. T-Mobile gave me unlimited data, local call, text and more long distance than I have any use for for $30 something. I don't know exactly because the pro-rated cell phone charge runs it up to $53. T-Mobile doesn't have the widest coverage, I think that's Verison or Sprint, both of which beat T-Mobile. But I wouldn't think that would be a problem in your area. In my area Verison might have been a better choice, but I’m stuck (until the cell is paid off). And T-Mobile does OK. You could also use it internationally (those costs aren’t free however) if you travel (you have to call them and ask them to flip a switch, or something, before you go), but I think that’s true of the others also. I found out the hard way that sending pictures from (won’t say where) is very pricey, and it isn’t worth it to send a picture home of the best meal you ever ate (OK, it was France) on a whim.

Based on what I'm seeing in the page, buying the phone locks me into AT&T.
