We hold these truths to be self-evident. Life, Liberty, and a Smart Phone? Is it me, or are other people wondering why everyone has to have a Blackberry, or iPhone, or whatever is the smart phone du jour. For crying out loud, the pizza delivery guy is tapping away on his Blackberry. 10 year old kids are tapping out messages by the hundreds on their iPhones.
To get one thing clear, I love my iPhone. I'm a techie. I write software for a living, and need to have all the different devices and gadgets out there. So obviously I firmly believe in the value of these devices.
What I can't fathom is how everyone can justify paying for the requisite data plans. If you make $30K per year, should you really be spending $100 per month on cell phone service when you can just use the free phone and pay $50? This continues my point from yesterday on "fiscal responsibility". Before people complain about taxes, the rich, the banks, etc., perhaps trim your cell phone bill in half. Save yourself several hundred dollars a year ... and then you can complain about everything else. However, I guess you won't be able to complain via an email sent from your Blackberry/
