Dilemma…
Ok, I have a dilemma. Hopfully you guys can help me decide what to do.
As far as I can remember, Verizon had bulky phones. As much as I loved Verizon’s reception, I was always tempted by the slimmer GSM phones. When my contract was up a couple monthes ago, I was pretty close to switching to a GSM company and get the RAZR. But in the end, I didn’t switch. I still opted for better reception than to have a cool phone.
I am glad that I stayed with Verizon because now they have the Motorola RAZR as well.
The dilemma is that the RAZR is $420 if you are not a new customer or a customer with an ending contract. I think there’s a $100 mail-in rebate out there and I can sell my current phone. With the rebate and ebay-ing my phone, I can probably knock it down to around $150. What do you guys think? Is it worth it? Here’s what I would get with the RAZR upgrade…
1. Speakerphone - This is awsome for waiting on the line with customer service and for driving. I really wished my LG has that feature
2. 1.3MP camerea - Check out this guy’s pictures on flickr. The camera is pretty good!
3. Ultra slim - perfect for guys because we don’t have purses to carry our phones
4. Stylish - no need for explaination here…
5. 3D games - I think this RAZR supports 3D games like Duke Nukkem and Need for Speed
(Lesser important factors)
6. EV-DO - I would have faster internet and the ability to watch Verizon’s vCast
7. USB - it uses standard USB cable to charge and connect to PC.
8. Crippled Bluetooth - Pretty much only supports headsets. There are some reports that OBEX is actually working though.
UPDATE: OMG! I JUST SPENT $450+ (including tax) on a phone!
I’ll let you guys know how I like the phone…
