If you ask me, All smart phones are over priced. It's like all phone manufacturers stick together and charge high prices so we don't have a choice but to pay it. Same thing with cell phone service. We are getting ripped off.

This is why I came to the conclusion that using prepaid cell service wins over at the end of the day, or at the end of two years. T-Mobile right now has their 4G prepaid monthly service going, which I'll be utilizing soon. Thirty dollars a month for 150 minutes of talk, unlimited texting, and unlimited 4G data (if the bandwidth for 4G speeds is in my area) that gets throttled after five gigs. PLENTY fine for me, as what I was getting with att.

Smartphone prices out of contract are preposterous! 600+ dollars?! That's a Windows 8 PC!!

IMO also -> You're absolutely correct, bfoster!

I read your other post on phone cost tally also, Coke. Real savings to be had! :thumb:

The thing is that they have set plans of which I'm guessing most people don't even use up. IMO, cell service should be pay as one uses as it was back in the day -> A service charge + what one used. I think they tactfully changed it around with "packages" to their advantage through the years.

As with my daughter and I, I have to maintain the 750-minute shared call package for the next least one, which is 500 minutes (if I remember correctly) is not enough. I use calling more than she because of business. She uses approximately 100 minutes of calling if lucky, whereas I use about 400 to 600 minutes. She uses tons of texting and FB data as a teen. I caught Vz taking unlimited texting off the plan the last time I had to renew the contract when I was promised it would remain as it would be grandfathered in. I caught this upon the first bill, for it was sky high. They charge 30 cents a text on overage. That's absolutely outrageous!

The real kicker is data and really gets my goat. It's mandatory to get a data plan with a smart phone. We get 150MG a month each on our plan. She went over one month using FB while on vacation in Florida. Ugh! $$$ Of course it doesn't eat up too much when writing text in FB, it's the pics they post that eats up a lot. Of course this is when she had her old phone of which didn't have the option of turning off data. She can now with her new one. To teach her some responsibility, I taught her how to turn it off and use the WiFi in the house or anywhere else she can do so. I also set up alerts when it reaches certain points.

Anywho, using this method, we're lucky if we use half of it. In keeping somewhat of track when looking at my bills, I use around 30MB and she about 60MB on average. It was less, but she uses more since school started. If I had my way, I wouldn't have data in my plan whatsoever. Not with all the hot spots around here in the big city anyway. The only other time I really need data is out on the road looking up an address or using navigation, of which can be replaced by some other navigation. I can wait to check up on my email or news until I'm in a hot spot. So to me data plans are useless, yet mandatory and expensive!

I thought like Elvis sang -> "I'm caught in a trap! I can't walk out!" Just like Cokie figured out -> I'm going prepay come hell or high water! :)
Oh balls, that's absurd! It's so annoying with smartphone data plans at how you can get 3 gigs of data, but it's like 30 dollars. Seriously, that's almost as much as I pay for my home internet, and I download 100+ gigs a month! Wow!

And this is true, prepaid or come hell or high water! So fed up with contract carriers!

I got this T-Mobile printout of their prepaid 4G plans, and they have a 30 dollar a month plan that has 1,500 minutes of talk text, where you can talk for 750 minutes and send 750 text messages with 30 MBs of data. Then it increments up. They also have a pay as you go plan that's like a dollar a day for unlimited text and 10 cents a minute to talking, 2 dollars for unlimited talk, text, and 2G data speed (slow crap though) and then 3 dollars a day for unlimited everything but the data is capped at 200 MBs per day at 4G speed. I'm liking their plans, if T-Mobile can get this across, they can become a pretty big deal.

Trial a Nokia – Nokia Conversations

This! Nokia lets you trial out one of their phones, and I've been checking that site like every few days to see if the 920 will be available, which it has. You try it out for two weeks and send it back. Checked the DHL tracking on my Lumia 920, it was just processed at Salt Lake City, Utah this morning! I think I might have it in like a day or two!!

SO EXCITED!!

Why trial it for 2 weeks, I thought you knew already without question that it was the phone for you. Why have you not just purchased it?

I'm sorry, but I don't know where you get the notion that Microsoft fanboys are like apple fanboys. Let me clear this up, I have more dollars in my wallet than reasons to buy the latest Microsoft related product, whereas apple fanboys have more reasons and excuses than dollars in their wallets to wait in line for 12 hours to buy the latest apple product. :)

This is the phone without doubt I WILL buy (emphasis on future), but being able to use it for a good two weeks to learn personally the Windows Phone 8 OS and to use the OIS PureView camera, and to pet it and love it, you don't say no to that ESPECIALLY when it's free!

And I haven't bought it because I just left att, as much as I enjoy a good highway robbery every month, I do not like having that done unto my person. Bills are WAY too high to justify. And then there's going the prepaid route, I need about 700 dollars for an unlocked Lumia 920, this requires months of saving and planning and budgeting so I don't become that apple fanboy, more reasons and excuses than dollars in my wallet.

At least with Apple fans, they go on and on and on about how fabulous their products are and they actually own and use them. In your case, you harp, preach, and evangelicalize these MS products but yet it seems in quite a number of areas, you don't actually own them, or haven't paid for them, etc.

It's like people that bag on open source projects like "The Gimp" or "Open Office" and say they are crap....and that Photoshop and MS Office blow them out of the water. But then you discover that they haven't paid $600 for their copy of Photoshop, but instead ganked it from The Pirate Bay. I wonder if these people would find "the gimp" completely unusable for their editing if they actually had to pay $600 for Photoshop. I suspect many might actually give "the gimp" a second look when it came down to actually outlaying cash.

This is the phone without doubt I WILL buy (emphasis on future), but being able to use it for a good two weeks to learn personally the Windows Phone 8 OS and to use the OIS PureView camera, and to pet it and love it, you don't say no to that ESPECIALLY when it's free!
I understand your point, however when you hype a product as much as you have on the 920, and when you belittle all of the competing products and say they are nowhere near the device that the 920 is, it seems rather comical that you don't actually own the 920, haven't paid for the 920 and "WILL" someday buy one. Some might see this as just a bunch of talk with nothing to really back it up.


And I haven't bought it because I just left att, as much as I enjoy a good highway robbery every month, I do not like having that done unto my person. Bills are WAY too high to justify. And then there's going the prepaid route, I need about 700 dollars for an unlocked Lumia 920, this requires months of saving and planning and budgeting so I don't become that apple fanboy, more reasons and excuses than dollars in my wallet.
It is important to make good fiscal decisions, no doubt about that. Phones for me are not as big of an issue because being in IT guy means I'm on call 24x7 and my company pays for my phone and my plan. It's got it's plusses and it's minuses.

Oh Lord Jesus! The trial Lumia 920 just came in this morning! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! I POOP THE BED!!!!

So far, I'm considering proposing marriage to it.

pparks, I see where you're coming from, but I have to say is that even though I personally don't have such products, I DO on the other, have used them. For example, touch PCs, I spent a couple days at the Amazon Showroom for a few hours playing with ALL of them to see how it's like to physically interact with different touch form factors. Last month, I went on a Windows Phone tour and toyed around with every Windows Phone on display. So instead of being hot air, I ACTUALLY know what I speaketh of and praise of. I also have personally used other related products, and I can sure as balls tell you what I believe to be is correct is.

I am still loving mine as well. Better than my iPhone, Better than my droid (even with ICS and JB Roms) My only gripe is that Hulu+ hasn't been released yet. According to the emails I had with them, it is coming very soon though.

Indeed - their Windows app supports Windows RT, so I'm hoping Windows Phone 8 support won't be far behind.

Oh boy! I went to Verizon today as they have some Nokia toys, like the JBL speaker and wireless charging pad on display, SO cool!

NFC is so cool! It's like witchcraft!

I've been putting the super sensitive touch display though the motions, I'm still trying to understand how it works, but it works pretty great with my driving gloves, no need to buy dumb iGloves.

I have to day, after using Windows Phone 8 for a day, I'm already sold! Definitely makes the upgrade worthwhile!

But my gear grinder by far isn't totally with Windows Phone 8, it's actually with Windows 8 and Xbox Music on it. You see, the live tile alone on Windows Phone 8 is WWWWAAAAYYYYY nicer and more alive than on Windows! I'll post a screenshot later. This pretty much backs up my original thoughts about it, Xbox Music on the Phone is a better job at replacing Zune and Xbox Music on the PC is.
