Determined to bypass “Flipping Burgers” … the update!

OMG!!!  I just found out that I may be closer to getting my iPhone than I thought I was!  Apple just announced today that they are reducing the price of the current model because they are coming out with a new version later this month. (You can see the prices here)

Now, this is where I have to put emotions aside and try to be smart about this decision.  This is an investment!  Do I go with the $99 current version, or do I keep saving for the new & improved one at $199?  

NEW? or ... CHEAP?!????  Help!

Here is what I’m thinking … I am already on my way to saving enough money, because I was counting on the phone costing me $199 anyway.  And, everyone always tells me that I should always buy “up” when it comes to technology … it gets outdated so quickly.

BUT …if I get the $99 version, I’ll have extra cash to play with! I can buy more apps, get my Paul Frank skin that I’ve been wanting ever since I saw it - AND, I might even have extra money left over for some new ringtones!

This is such a tough decision!  It seems like the $99 phone with all of the extras I wanted is a better deal.  But I am still so unsure!  Should I stay the course and continue to save … or do I quit while I am ahead and purchase the cheaper phone and SAVE the extra money instead of getting everything?!? Come on you guys … what do you think?  I need your opinions!

I am going through the EXACT same thing as you are! What I am thinking is that Apple is trying to get people to by the $199. If you really look at them, they really are not that different! I would say go for the $99 (I am) because extra money to play with is way better than nothing!! ;)
