I didn't think that I would have much use for all of the extra crap that is on them. It's really inconvenient to have to deal with software taking up space and not being able to install it. But, someone, somewhere is profiting from it. Seems funny, but I felt like I had more freedom with my old mobile phone in Russia. One trip to Svyaznoy and I could buy minutes to use from whoever had the best rate for usually a cheaper price than I can get here. However, this phone was free as an upgrade and to be honest, it has replaced my need for a laptop, and I consolidated all of my telecommunications needs and spend less as a result. Plus I can take it anywhere. I get 1.5 mbps in the remote areas of the Ozark mountains of Arkansas. Only catch is that I'm under a 2 year contract. I suppose the debate is whether personal freedom or economic freedom is worth sacrificing one for the other.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
