Did the price of the cell phone bothering you?

This is a very timely topic because last month I just had a strong liking with one particular cellphone but unfortunately I could not afford to buy it. My husband knows about it but since it is still expensive and we are working on a tight budget, he told me to wait few months until the cellphones price goes down a bit. I told him that I really want the cellphone but I understand that he is the only one working and I am taking care of the baby and have no permanent work as of the moment. So I informed him not to dare borrow money from others just to buy that phone for me because I could wait. I will get mad at him once he buy that for me because it is not the right time yet. He knows how much I like the cellphone and I always tell him that I almost memorized the specifications of the phone. He laughs at me because he never saw me before as addicted to a cellphone as I am now. He ask me what if a better one arrives will I still buy the phone I want? And I told him yes. The cellphone I wanted to have is just simple. It's Sony Ericsson T700 in pure silver. I told him that I will buy that once I get back to work and earned enough money. By December 2009 I believe the price will go down so I could afford to buy it. He said he will support me with that wish. My birthday is next month and there is no way I could have that cellphone. I already accepted that fact (sigh.) I just look on the brighter side that I am still lucky because I have a cellphone more cheaper but still of good quality he bought for me few days ago.

I usually don't buy a cell phone just for a sake of buying a cell phone... I try to wait till I absolutely need it... I do, however, do get a free or cheap phones every year just for a back up & if I ended up not using that phone, I usually give it away or donate them...
