Phone

So I got a new phone yesterday. My mom's phone broke so we went to the Sprint store to see what she could do about it and she ended up getting a new phone. Also, my sister and brother got new phones. I am still under contract with AT&T until next month so canceling with them would result in a $200 early termination fee and we didn't really want to bother with that. We had been planning on switching me over to Sprint to join the family plan anyways when my contract was up but now we had a dilemma. Then my mom says, "Why don't you just get the phone with Sprint now and just keep your AT&T phone for the next month then cancel it?" Sounded like a plan to me so I started shopping phones. I really wanted the brand new Palm Pre but it is over $200 and you have to have a data plan with it and it would make the whole bill much much larger so I put the kibosh on that. We already have the unlimited messaging plan for our family and adding that data would be a lot more. So then I looked at the Instinct s30...but that also means you need a data plan, along with any Blackberry. I settled on the Samsung Rant as my new phone. It has a full keyboard, which was my main concern, but it doesn't have any other features that the others had. Now that I think about it though I realize that I don't really need any of those...if I really want to use a touch screen or get on the internet on my phone I will just use my iPod Touch. So far the phones great, and having unlimited texting is fabulous. Using the keyboard to text is so much easier than using a regular keypad. The only bad thing about getting the new phone was having to get a new phone number because my old one is still in use with AT&T. Parting from my extremely easy to remember number, 760-4888, and switching to a new one seemed like a nightmare to me but the new one isn't too bad, 352-3139. Hey, at least for the next month I will have two phones, maybe it will make me look super cool or something...or maybe just a dork.
