Why not to get a new mobile

Posted in Top 10 by Cheryl on 12 April 2007
  1. The subscription will cost you more than the phone is worth
  2. 80% of the features will not prove practical or useful
  3. The remaining 20% of the features are not worth the price you paid
  4. Really useful phones that provide TV or a keyboard don’t fit in your purse, let alone your pocket
  5. Youthful flexibility and mobility is seriously hampered by 2-year phone subscriptions
  6. As part of that promotion you’ll undoubtedly get this year, you’ll get a new phone from your employer for free
  7. Everyone will be jealous of you until they all have newer phones, after which you’ll regret your purchase for the next 1 year and 11 months
  8. I’ll bet you can’t name 5 things your new phone gives you that your old one couldn’t
  9. A new phone is more expensive to replace than an old one
  10. The time you take to learn how best to maneuver the menus is directly proportional to your age - do you really want to be confronted with that reality?
