Ferdie, think of them as low-end computers, as that is what they really are.

Do you still have a 15" CRT screen, or are you using something with an LCD? - Think of it as the same way. If you are going to be with the device for 2 years, do you really want to start with the older technology?
I am looking at them too, and have been thinking about it like a PC.

You may not do a lot now, but it is likely that you may start doing more, once you have the capability. It is a small, portable computer after all....
The resolution will affect the way a site shows on your screen, not just how movies/videos/games look.

And the price? I would look at it as equal to 1 cigar a month, for the 2 year contract.
Is it still too much to add?


As a side note, when we get ours (wife & I) I will look at adding the insurance. We've had the Voyagers for this last contract, and mine is starting to have issues. Hers, the touch screen died a few months ago.
They can't "fix" hers, and they haven't been willing to provide any discount for us to get her a new phone as we are so close to our 'new every two' timeframe.
