An apology and thank you

[devilc]

Apologies to everybody for the tone of my last post. I ended up stepping on toes when thinking it through a bit longer would've made the same point (is this a need or do I want it because of the "ooh! shiny!" factor?), and made it better.

Thank you to the community members for pointing out several points of utility I had overlooked in why a person would choose to have a cell phone, such as transit scheduling and medical apps. A vigorous discussion is a good thing, and you certainly provided it.

Thank you to the community members who pointed out the more economical carriers and the best value plans. You shared a lot of valuable knowledge.

Thank you to the mod for her forbearance.
