I’m in Ireland, here we get ripped off! We pay €55/$72/£53 a month for combined phone and internet (our phone plan gives us free local and national calls at all times and free calls to one of the Irish mobile/cell operators. Our internet plan gives us upto 3MB) We use VOIP for our international calls, good value, only about €12/$16/£11.50 every 4 months.
We pay €23/$30/£22 a month for cable tv (giving us hundreds of channels – many of them rubbish though!)

Just interested what prices are like where you live? Thanks

I am not a buisness man so I could care less about any phone’s ability to run “third party apps”, VoIP, Windows Mobile, or Smart-phone capabilities blah blah. I won $850 in Texas lotto and I’m willing to spend that on a phone with multimedia features. Razr maxx looks good but I doubt the screen to be as good as iPhone’s.

Can U plz help me make a choice? (Both phones are not out yet but I’m planing to buy one of them when they are released)
