Yay or Nay to the iPhone 3Gs

// March 7th, 2010 // Uncategorized

In my recent snowboarding trip to Blue Mountain, I was able to conquer my fear and take on the double black diamond trails. Besides the good news, I did break my cellphone, a Nokia e66, a gift from my girlfriend. The damage happened at the parking lot of the ski lodge. As I was changing into my snowboarding gears at the parking lot, I dropped my phone on the ground which fell right in front of one the car wheels. Then, for some reason, I moved my car forward a little and as I walk towards the back of my car, I notice my cellphone flat on the snow. When I tried to make a phone call, all I get is a black screen with white lines.

I have been contemplating on buying the iPhone 3Gs. Despite being one of the hottest phone out there, the iPhone doesn’t offer me a true value for what its made off. First of all, the 16 GB and 32GB uncommitted phones are sold at $599 and $699 respectively. Second of all, since I am looking to buy an unlocked phone which means that I will not be getting a $30 per month data plan, I will be limited to using WiFi for my web surfing. It is really worth it to pay that much for a fancy looking phone that I will not be utilizing all the functions?

Dilemma, dilemma….
