So, I am in the market for a phone again...I was discussing phones with Meredith the other day and we seem to be in complete agreement-THIS IS A BIG DECISION!
The ending of our contract is nearing and I have already changed my mind twice on my phone selection! There are so many things to consider! My dad always tries to find us the best deal, of course, but this time we are coming up empty handed with every deal we explore. We think,"should we go through our network?" or "should we try buying online?" or"maybe we should just buy new phones and keep the plan the same?" All of these are valid options, however, only one is right for us.
I started out completely satisfied with my choice. I had made up my mind. I was confident. But no, I just HAD to stop by Radio Shack and cheat on my phone choice. Low and behold I see my very own selection in TERRIBLE shape! It was literally falling apart! Both slide options of the phone wouldn't hold and it was now crooked. I gasped and knew I didn't want to have any similar horrifying issues down the line, so I was back to square one.
Option 1) Pantech Matrix
I immediately ran home to begin my in-depth research once again.Nothing on EBay. Check. Nothing interesting on Craig's list. Check. AT&T, too expensive. Check. However, while on the AT&T a particular phone caught my attention. It had a QUERTY board, which I decided was a must this time around and all the reviews I found were satisfactory.And for an added bonus, it was also touch screen. Well, I consulted with the phone guru/expert, Meredith, (aka. also BFF, she really is an all-in-one package deal) and she did her usual highly involved research and review checks between both my previous choice and current selection and came back to me with her decision. Samsung Impression.Therefore...
Option 2) Samsung Impression
Well, now price was going to be the issue...*sigh*Bless my Dad's heart, he has tried relentlessly to search for deals and,at this point, I don't know if I AM going to get a good deal. More than likely I will be biting the bullet this time and plunkin' my money down in order to get what I want. However, this is a very new phone, and I have only heard good about it. Lord only knows how this will turn out and the jury is still out.
So, leave your comments if you have any...I am still looking for a deal...or reviews you have about my future phone*crossing fingers*
