Cell Phone Envy
Over at my girl’s house we had some time to chat about this and that before the movie. She’s been working at a promotional products company this summer as a sales assistant so she can learn about sales and marketing. She hopes to move into a full time sales position with the company after graduation next May.
She was polite about not answering her cell phone while I was over there, but it rang quite a bit. I’m sure she’s got a lot of friends, she’s really nice. Pretty, too. She left the cell phone out on the coffee table and finally I had to say something about her phone. She has the new blackberry pearl phone - pink, of course. Seems like all the girls are carrying pink phones now. But I wanted to know how she could use the keypad on the blackberry when she has such long fingernails.
I do like some things about the blackberry and I’m sure that with her job and all her friends that the texting and the keypad are important features for her. She says she uses a stylus and that it was the best phone she could find out of the Alltel phones on the service that her parents have for their plan. She gets to take advantage of being on their plan and she saves a lot of money that way.
But my plan is with AT&T and I like the looks of the newrazr phone and I’ve been checking out the razr deals at some of the local phone stores. The clerk at the last store told me that for the best deals I need to get online and shop for a phone on the internet.
Besides the phone company’s store and web site, there’s some good web sites that have good deals on all the top phones. I already looked there and gave some serious thought to all the top free phones, but i think I’m going to hold out for the razr and I can’t find any free offers on that one.
My dad has the iPhone and he loves it but that’s too much phone for what I need. All those extra charges for using an iPhone come as a rude shock in the bill every month. After all, I’m still on a student’s budget. But that’s no reason to not be stylin’ and I’m fine with the razr if that’s one of the models included with the at&t cell phones. I still have a year to go on my current plan but i can upgrade to a new phone this month.
