My Grandmother and I are now on the Family Plan with AT&T and we have phones being shipped to us. The cost of the equipment if we had gone through the AT&T website, which is cheaper than over the phone, would have been over $300, and instead I got it all for $77 going through Amazon.com.
My Grandmother, for whatever reason, really wanted the pink Sony Ericsson Walkman phone. That seems really trendy and what not, but she really wanted this phone. I don’t know. Maybe when she’s at church in the morning all the other old ladies and gentlemen pull out their cell phones and they are cooler than my Grandma’s, so she needed to upgrade to something flashy.
I on the other hand have gone way over and beyond any phone that I’ve ever owned and purchased the AT&T Tilt. This phone has all the buzzwords that you could possibly have heard in the past year. Touchscreen, full Qwerty keyboard, wifi, bluetooth, GPS, Windows Mobile 6.1, and probably some other things that I am not aware of right now. To be honest I don’t even know to what extent I will be able to take advantage of all these features. I just wanted them. I was going to get a phone with GPS anyway, and my choices were pretty slim, so why not go for the gusto and get all the features I could ever want or desire.
I am so glad that the phone issue is finally resolved.
