Sometime this week, I need to go get a new cellphone. I'll be moving off of my family's plan onto my own, so I figure I may as well score a new phone at the same time. I've decided to get a PDA-type phone, but not a Blackberry, which doesn't have 3G capability (at least not through AT&T, my service provider). I'm deciding between the Moto Q and the BlackJack II, which wasn't on my radar but has some pretty good reviews on the AT&T website and at CNet. The local shop will be getting a visit from me tomorrow to test out both, but I'm currently leaning towards the Moto Q, which, while slightly bigger, will probably be easier for me to use because of its larger size (and keypad).
What sucks is that the package for unlimited data and messaging costs $50/month - which will be more than I pay for my phone plan (the basic $40/month). It kind of makes me question if it's even worth it and if I should just stick with my current phone (the now-defunct Motorola SLVR) and just get a new phone plan. I'm sure I could find another way to spend the $600/year in savings.
That's actually a fair bit of money once I type it out.
