Did not get Iphone Samsung Instinct instead

This post is a little late. I did not get the iphone, but Bell Canada had a better deal for the Samsung Instinct. The data with Bell is unlimited on the mobile browser for $10.00 plus the cost of minutes and other fee's. The Instinct is not anywhere near what the iphone is. As a smart phone it is a great phone. With a built in browser full html pages can be accessed anywhere, but the browser is not as good as safari on the iphone. The phone has great reception and many cool applications built in. There is a charge for some service like GPS and music subscription service. The lack of third party applications is a bit of a downer. Overall I do like this phone and if you are in Canada it is a great alternative to the monopoly that Rogers has for the iphone.

Iphone Temptation

One of the things that I have a soft spot for is technology. When Apple released the Iphone in the US I wanted one so bad. It has been a little over a year since the first Iphone came out. Now the new Iphone is going to be available in Canada. I am not sure on cost, but the price might be the same as the US. OK my goal is to save, so what will this purchase set me back plus the monthly costs. Will I benefit from being able to do some of my online business on the go, or is it just a WANT. The release date is July 11 can I resisit or will I take the plunge. As I fight with the little devil and angel on my shoulder I will keep everyone up to date.

The devil says buy, buy, buy.
