Shopping for a new phone! #CBias

Sunday, January 8, 2012

Phone shopping is so much fun! It's like buying a car!

What do I want?  What features are important to me? 

Recently, I broke down and admitted to myself that I needed a smart phone again.  I miss it, really.  I like my technology as much as the next girl!  Besides, I don't have many toys.  I deserve something for just myself.

So, I started researching months ago!  Since I have a budget, I decided to go with a prepaid carrier.  It seemed that I could get just about the same service for about 1/2 the price.  Ask me a question about prepaid and I have the answer.

So, eventually, I knew I needed to make a decision and go with it.  So, I loaded up the girls one night and headed to Best Buy.

Of course, the phone I wanted to check out the most wasn't available to test...  This display was right in the entryway but the phone wasn't there!!  UGH!  Just my luck!  But, it didn't matter.  As I saw later, the phone was $200~ A bit more than I was willing to spend.
After talking to my cutie Sales Rep, Scottie, I decided on the LG Optimus Slider by Virgin mobile.  {I'm a Droid girl!}  I LOVE it!!

Make sure you check out Google + for more pics from our trip!  It was a lot of fun!

New phones are so much fun! I bought a nice prepaid for my daughter, but I didn't realize that prepaids are available in the smart phone. I might have to upgrade her phone :)

thanks for sharing.

I don't do any phone shopping. That is hubby's department. We have a contract though, not sure why we don't go with prepaid.
