i just want a cellphone, is that too much to ask?


As the holidays approach, spending $200-$300 for a phone was certainly not in my plans, but the little Nokia that could...can no longer. The ringtones have died. The poor girl is mute.

So, today SJ and I went to a Verizon store to check out the goods. Appalling. The "full retail price" ie, price without a contract renewal, upgrade, whateve, was gross on all accounts. Yeah, let me pay $400 for that phone that has a big $50 next to "with 2 year contract." We have a contract, and I can't wait for it to run out so I can join the rest of the world in i-phone happiness.

So, then I go online to see if anything is cheaper there. Can't even FIND prices that aren't attached to a contract.

I give up.
