When I walked into the Telus store in the Rideau Center one fine Tuesday morning, I said to myself: "My! My phone contract will end soon!". So I decided to take a peek inside to find a phone that ranked high on the cool factor.
But confronted, I was when I first set my eyes on the hundreds of phones, with hundreds of choices. So I asked the lady at the desk; "Do you recommend any phone?". The reply was out of my current financial reach: "The Blackberry Storm is my pick. I will get one whenever I can!". "Ah." Said I, and promptly scanned the room for more options. "How about another Blackberry?" I said slowly. Once again, the answer was too costly: "Well with all included, it comes up to 51.95$ or 623.40$ not counting the price of the phone". "Oh" I said disappointed. So I decided that I should get through this one phone at a time with three things in mind:
- A cool phone (hopefully a touch phone)
- A good price
- An easy-to-use phone
I then lay my eyes on the LG Dare. It was a pocketable smarphone, that wasn't a smartphone according to Telus, with a beautiful touch screen and came with all the basics, bells and whistles.
"My! I said to myself, What a find!". "Would you care to try it?" said the lady at the counter. "Why yes!" I replied.
And I loved it, for the 30 seconds I had it for I didn't want to pester the employee any longer.
And what a price! The phone and the cheapest package came up to (all things taken into consideration) 400 dollars and 6 cents per year.
But since I am willing to sign on to a 3 year contract, I want to make sure it is with the right people with the right phone.
So what I want to ask is:
What phones would you recommend to someone (anyone)?
