I usually buy myself a Christmas gift. The note 2 is now on my mind.
My contract isn't up until August. Besides if I want to keep my unlimited plan, I'll have to pay retail, right?
$700 is unreasonable, I only paid $900 for my 60inch plasma. The carriers know the retail price is outrageous, and of course prefer for us to buy the subsidized price for the 2 year contract. Best buy has the unactivated prices listed at $800, but at least that way you can make payments over 18 months with their credit card.
I could of course break my contract, pay the $350 - $10 per month already paid, then get it at the subsidized price which I think would make it around $500 for me.
The money isn't the issue, it's the justification that I'm having a hard time with.
I would really miss running the sourcery ROM too.
