$500-$600 for a phone
with a 2 year contract is nuts. Especially because you're going to be hit with not only the phone plan, but a data plan as well. Otherwise, you won't get to use %80 of the phone's features.
So let's see...
Code:
$500 initial investment
+
$45/month for minutes (at least)
$20/month for data (lowest data plan price currently)
-----------
65/month
x
24 months
----------
$1560
+
$500 iPhone cost
----------
$2060 total
I just hope they transfer the touchscreen interface and wide screen to the 6th Gen iPod so I can play with that.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
