Finally!

I'm resisting it for now. My contract has been fulfilled for awhile now but I guess there's really no good reason not to get it, it's not like I intend to leave this carrier.

I get a little irked that I'm offered a "free" upgrade but they charge me a 36.00 fee for it. It doesn't make any sense and it surely isn't free.

They also usually charge you sales tax for the full value of the phone. My son and I both recently upgraded to the iPhone 5c (not for the color, trust me on this). Anyway, it cost around $90 (a 4GS would have been "free") but they charged sales tax on the full retail value of the phone ($500 or so? I dunno).

Blackberry's aren't sounding so great. I agree that it seems like Samsung is competing well against the iPhones. There are just certain apps that are only available on the iPhone that draw the kids to them I think. Personally, I just picked an iPhone because I liked the size (some phones seem too damn big to me) and I was too lazy to do any real research.
