Help me out, smogon.
I'm currently using a second gen tmobile dash and I will tell you one thing about it: it sucks dick. My family is on a tmobile family plan and, while it's cheap, I haven't been able to get a new, decent phone...until now.
Anyways, I attempted to preorder the iPhone 4, and was successful, until I discovered that due to my lack of credit (I'm 18), a $500 deposit is required that I would get back at the end of the year. Now, I have enough money for that, but still that's just a huge chunk of cash. Plus the $200 to preorder and then the ~$85/month for service.
So, I thought around for a bit and eventually talked to my best friend's mom to see if she could add me onto their family plan. I would give her the $200 to preorder the new iPhone and then pay, upfront, enough cash to pay for the entire first year of service (since it's like $60 to add on an iPhone it'd be around $600). This currently is my top choice.
However, I started thinking again and began looking at what tmobile had to offer. They don't really have that many great phones - there's the new Blackberry Bold 9700 which is very sleek but in want of a better processor and web browser. There's the mytouch 3g slide, which runs Android and is also very sleek but still needs a faster processor. And then there's the HTC HDH2 which has a 1ghz processor (very good!) but unfortunately runs on the windows os for smartphone :(.
The good thing about staying with tmobile is that I wouldn't really have to pay much more at all (maybe $30 extra a month which is very cheap) and that on father's day this Sunday, there's a promotion where they're offering all of their newest phones for free if you add a new line to your family plan. Since we're already past our 2-year service contract, renewing another 2-year contract would count as adding that line and would allow me to get a decent phone for free.
But, I am an apple fanboy and have always wanted an iPhone...and the iPhone 4 just looks too good to pass up. I love the OS and all the features, just everything about it!
So, smogon. Help me decide!
