My rant/philosophy/advice?

It's all good. I only paid $75 for my iPhone because I was eligible for an upgrade on my existing contract with my provider. Now I just pay $25 a month without data. I had an Android for a short period before that but it was a small screen and bulky- I did not like it. The iPhone was the only option in the upgrade package besides a Blackberry Storm (I think that's what the other one was). So I took the iPhone. It's a 4S and I haven't had any problems with it. It's even been through the washer. The screen cracked a bit but Apple replaced it for me at no cost. So I have no complaints!

Yeah, mine was only $99 for the same reason. So far I have no complaints at all. It does everything I want it to and does it extremely well.

I boycotted Apple many moons ago. Their products are great, I just can't go back on my promises.

Apparently things have changed, so I am wrong about iphones, I was unaware of the change in price, they used to be very expensive (no unlimited data, $17.00 a month to insure, and about $300 with a contract)

So, My point still stands, just apparently NOW they are not that bad of a choice, but they were at one point and there are a million other examples of this. I supposed they got so popular they could lower the cost some, because so many were being bought. I dunno. lol

Lucky you! My dad has had about 6 or 7 Blackberries in the past 4 years, because they kept breaking or they were all just not working right after awhile. I have friends with similar stories, and I used to have a Blackberry Pearl a few years ago, but the hinge broke after 8 months and they wouldn't give me a new phone.
