Get a pimped-out MacBook instead of an iPhone
That's an interesting thought:
business2blog: B2Day in Why I am Going To Wait to Buy an iPhone:
Then there's the price: $500 to $600, plus $60 to $100 a month for the wireless service. If you go all out and get the best phone with the best plan, that will knock you back $1,800 in the first year alone. You know what? I'd rather get a pimped-out MacBook and still save $300.
Personally I've come to the point that I do carry a cell phone with me, but mostly use it as a substitute for a wrist clock or alarm clock in the morning. When I have to do the occasional phone call I simply use a pre-paid service. That concept works well whereever I go whether it's down here in Panama or on travels to the US or Europe. The simplest and cheapest GSM phone available is more than enough. For all other communication needs I rely on my laptop, which I need anyway for my trade.
