Whenever you buy the latest thing in electronics, you can be sure that it’ll be smaller, faster, and cheaper six months later. I pity all those suckers who slept in the street the night before the first Iphones hit the stores. A superior, less expensive version hit the market within the year.
I’ve never had a Smart Phone. It wasn’t really necessary because I work at home and am on my computer and land line all day. But last year I was going on a book tour and would need the benefits of a modern cell. Amazon was having a special sale for AT&T users: an HTC Aria for $50. I ordered it, and then discovered all kinds of kinks in the design that made it difficult to set up. I complained to customer service, and got a $20 refund so the $300 phone cost me thirty bucks.
