Re: That Makes Sense....Not!
said by mikef1  :said by Madness :One's gonna pay $1500+ over the life of the contract for a $500 notebook.  If you are going to word it like that then you should also mention one will also get free 3g and att wifi internet access over the life of the contract. OR if you were planing to get the service anyways now they throw a notebook for $99.
I guess the OP miss the point. You can buy your cheap notebok anywhere without contract. But the idea here is that if you are going to get the service anyways now you have a good incentive... |

You are going to sign up for a mobile data plan anyway, so why not take advantage of a discount on the hardware.

| Agreed. If you were already looking for this, then you got reason to sign a contract. However, with any contract, one is always smart to ask for a month trial to make sure they like the service and it lives up to what's promised. Too many companies like locking users in to substandard offerings. Whenever I am about to sign one (which isn't often), I always tell them let me see the service first for a test drive. Most will let you do that at least for a short period. |

It makes no sense to make sense here. People are quick, with out thinking, to be the first to try and bash any and everything on the surface. Really, it makes me wonder if Darwinism is being discontinued as some people really never think. Makes me wonder how some people can survive in this world.
Let me say something else to the OP, in my reply to you..
*********
That makes sense... NOT!
One's gonna pay $1500+ over the life of the contract for a $500 cell phone... as they have been now for a decade.
******************
This will make sense for more people and I see it as a great idea to stimulate a little excitement among people that are in the market looking for mobility. This really is no different that those that do it will cell phones already. |
