Recently I have been plagued with this question. My upgrade time is coming around and the smart phone route just seems like the right choice. But can my activities justify the cost? So far the cheapest smart phone I have found (that I like) is the Droid Eris by HTC. $99.99 That's just the phone. The data plan to run it would probably be around $30 a month. (That brings the first year of owning this phone to a grand total of $459.99) That's a lot of Taco Bell runs.
So readers may be asking why I would still be considering such an investment after looking at the numbers? The answer, to be honest, is rather selfish and pathetic. The idea of being able to update my facebook statues on the go, navigate a busy city, or check the latest news brings out the nerd deep inside me. I'm a techie geek at heart, it's a part of my being. Having a gadget such as this just seems exciting.
So I am at war with myself.
The nerd vs. the calculated.
I don't have an answer yet. But if you ever read a blog posted from my new phone in January, you will know who has won.
