What? Your son doesn't have to pay for a plan with the Samsung? That really makes no sense. The AT&T voice plans are the same. . . so the only difference has to be in the data plan. Guess what? They're the same or less for the iPhone.
“...so the only difference has to be in the data plan...”
Correct. I think they make you take the $10 plan no matter what (for texting). But the data plan was something like $35 a month. So he didn’t go for the higher plan, and then figured why have such a nice phone if he wasn’t going to use all of its capabilities. I think he mainly wanted to have it for phone and text (he already had a phone) and for the music (But - he already has an MP3 player).
Of course once he got it in his head that he needed a new phone he still had to buy a new one. (”The keypad is a lot cooler.”)
I’m glad he didn’t get the fancy one - but figured he could make his own decision. I remember saving up my money to buy a pair of Nike’s like my friends as a kid. The luster sure wore off though after the first touch football game and they were just as dirty as my previouse sneakers!
I think he was looking at a Zune(?) too - but that seemed to be pretty limited in the “apps”.
It’s pretty amazing what these “phones” can do. A guy at church has a decibel meter on his to check the sound system!
