I have…. bitten the bullet and gotten the new iPhone. Well, not new per se, but new to me. I have wanted one for some time, but never had the money. Don’t actually have the money now, but whatever…sigh… But I got it regardless, because:
1. I was in need of a new phone. My LG VU got stolen, and my two Nokias both started doing this weird stalling thing. At the same time. It is quite annoying in the middle of a conversation.
2. I need constant access to email for two jobs – My job as an actress, to check for auditions and messages from my agent and for my new part-time job as a debit machine technician. Nope, I’m not joking. Pretty soon, I will be replacing debit machines and sending them out for servicing. One gets their appointments by email. It’s the easiest way.
3. I have wanted one since they came out. But I am not one to spend large amounts of money easily, so I waited.
The thing is, I completely misunderstood my cellphone provider upgrade policy. And I almost waited until next year. I thought that I was ineligible for any type of upgrade until the two year deadline. Therefore, I thought I would have to pay the full 8 billion 6 hundred of so dollars for the phone if I wanted it now. And I didn’t want it that much. Little did I know, that one can upgrade after one year, however, it’s not fully… subsidized I guess is a word to use. So, instead of paying one price next year, I paid a little bit more this year.
My bank account is crying right now.
But I’m happy…until I see the bank account.
Sigh.
Who else has an iPhone out there (everybody and their mom, I know)?
And any suggestions on cool FREE apps? I heard that is the thing to do…
