As my main Christmas gift, my mom promised me a new phone, but I can't even upgrade until February so I still have a little time. My mom said that she'll pay for it, but I want a variety of choices so I saved up almost $100 (and over the next month or so more money will be added to that) plus my dad got me a $50 gift card toward my phone. But I can't decide on a phone! I text a lot, so I want something with a QWERTY keyboard and I'll be happy as long as I have that. But the links below are my top picks, so please help me decide which one I should get. *The iPhone is one of my choices, but before you just go and say to pick that, I would suggest having a look at the other phones and their features. And please consider how long the phone would last, how up-to-date it would be after 2 years, how easy it is to text, the price of the phone and any extra features/accessories that may be necessary to make the phone work to its full potential, and any other factors that would make a phone a good choice. And that goes for ALL phones, not just the iPhone. So here are my picks and their links: -Apple iPhone (8GB): http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/packages/packages-details.jsp?q_sku=sku2640250&q_package=sku3190234 -Pantech Matrix: http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phone-details/?device=Pantech+Matrix+-+Red&q_sku=sku3020374 -Samsung Propel: http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phone-details/?device=Samsung+A767+Propel+-+Red&q_sku=sku3290218 -AT&T Quickfire: http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phone-details/?device=AT%26T+Quickfire+-+Orange&q_sku=sku3090222 -LG Ignite: http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phone-details/?device=LG+INCITE&q_sku=sku3140220 -Samsung Blackjack II: http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phone-details/?device=Samsung+BlackJack(TM)+II+-+Pink&q_sku=sku2690225 Those are my choices. But another note: the AT&T Quickfire was my initial choice but then I noticed all these other phones and now I can't make up my mind. So give me your opinions, and be open minded to all the phones. And it would help if you could explain why I should choose the phone you say. Thanks!
