I’ve always felt the mobile phone market to be different from any market. It’s set up in such a way that there is no competition between pricing for a plan, only in coverage and the device you’ve got. And when it comes down to buying the right device, you get what you need, then what you want. Sometimes the bare minimums you need is just a phone that can call. That’s what I have right now, an unlocked Sony Ericsson, with a T-Mobile prepaid minutes SIM card. Then there’s what you want to have: texting, a data plan…This is all stuff I’d like to have but am not gonna pay for. What I have right now is the cheapest for me, and works.
Except for one small problem: I don’t have a DROID.
I’m loving the DROID phone more and more each day.
I came home from a party with some friends last night less than an hour ago. I walked in and took a quick look at the front page of the San Francisco Chronicle, only to see a gigantic advertisement for Google’s DROID phone. And the campaign is only getting bigger.
