I really want an iphone, but the prices are rediculous! advice?

Hi Allison. I have a friend that is13 years young and she has a blackberry pearl phone and she is very responsible so I know at the age of 14 years young you are just as responsible and deserves an i-phone. I read in the paper today that AT&T has decided to let new customers buy the new edition of the i-phone that comes out tomorrow for $199.00..... You should get the phone you really want if you are having to pay for it however you should research the phones and try them out. I decided on the Blackberry pearl flip phone after talking to people who have the touch screen phones and the i-phones. The complaints I heard most is the battery life is terrible on the touch screen phones. The termination rate of $72 is not bad considering that it would cost me $250.00 per phone to get out of my new contract with alltel/Verizon. I have been with alltel for 9 years and I hear that ATT&T is a good company if you pay you bill in full and on time. I wish you the best in what ever phone you get. Keep me informed of your decision and I will be praying for you to make a lots of money baby sitting and maybe your family will give you extra money for being so sweet and beautiful. Take care and have a special week. David
