Advice on handsets

Damn, that was some Hocken-esque speech Howard.

I'm still cringing from pressing "submit reply" after reading what I typed.

[Ed Hocken]

It's okay, Howard. It's okay.

[Howard]

What's ok Ed? I need to know. WHAT????

[Ed Hocken]

You know what it is. Besides, I've been reading Elements of Style and I'm trying to reduce unecessary words.

NEVER!

You should take every opportunity to emboost your verbage...

[BillyG]

That's a perfectly cromulent decision.

If you can swing 450 minutes or less per month to a landline (I pull this off EASILY) then it's a great plan. Sprint is one of the few companies that means it when they say Unlimited Data. I've had sprint for 9 years now, and I've never had a problem. Personally, I don't have a smart phone, so I have a 5 dollar cheaper plan than that (If you have a smartphone, I think the 69.99 is the lowest plan you can get?). Plus, even calling cell phones and landlines I don't exceed 450 minutes.

But, anyway, yeah, that's a good plan, and, again, Sprint has always been pretty good to me.

Cool! Thanks!

Thinking about getting the HTC Evo 4G package.

A metric fuck ton of phones just got announced at CES, especially 4G. Might want to see what price and availability comes from it first.
