Ok, it is official, I regret not being patient and getting an iPhone. I love browsing electronic stores, and unfortunately that means I am bombarded with cell phone marketing. After finally looking at the iPhone plan today, I realized that I am not only missing out on a handy phone, I am not really saving much money anyway. If I am reading the signs correctly, a new 3Gs 16gb only costs around $125 (spread over two years), and users also get a huge discount ($15-20) off their monthly fees as well. My phone may be free, but I don’t get the special iPhone discount, which might end up being more than the cost of my phone. Of course, I am not sure how getting a one year contract or something changes the iPhone deal, but since I have to pay a $100 contract-breaking fee for my phone in the end anyway, it can’t be that big a difference. And, even if I don’t have AT&T in the US, I could have always used the iPhone as a Touch anyway. Sigh.
Note to self, be patient net time. Don’t rush into buying anything, especially a phone, even if you feel that you need it. I learned the lesson, but that does not change the bitter feeling I have now. I tend to dwell on stuff I can not change way too much. Oh well, at least I am in Japan.
