I have started this discussion as I'm planning again to buy this mobile I have sign online.I can't resist this urge to buy this. so for sure after second enough money I would buy this one. I weiner if I'm being impractical to planning to but another one though I have a good phone already a 3g phone with gprs feature also though we dont have 3g in our country but only gprs. that's why its useless also to have 3g phone or feature. I'm planning to but a wifi phone so that I can faster internet connection on thr phone as I'm heavy mobile internet user.
do you think I'm getting impractical. that I should jyst save the money and doing something else with the money. and just use internet on my computer to save money.

I am good at putting money away when I could have money to save...
I can just tuck away little bit of the money each time and not use it at all until I need it.
Fancy phone is not really a priority to me, I don't mid using old phones as long as it calls and receives calls. So if I were you, I would save the money on something else instead.

that's nice you dont prioritize buying fancy phones specially a lot of people like me just can't resist buying better phones which are just recently out in the market. I dont plan in buying one but I love payng on me my phone and I enjoy getting online and posting in mylot. but because my phone does not have stable Connection because of poor mobile network connection, I plan to but wifi capable phone so that I can always get online using my phone. I'm lazy opening my computer. I feel bored typing at my keyboard. I love typing with touch screen phone. I just slide the stylus across the keypad and comes out the word.

I'm not contented having gprs connection only in my phone. we dont have 3g in my country yet. I want wifi phone so I can post whole day using my mobile. I dont like using pc that much. so when I have wifi phone I expect to earn more online uSing my mobile. I'm member of so many paid forums.

I think if you will save money to buy the new phone then it's okay, unless it's too expensive that you'll be spending more than you can really afford. I suggest you sell your current phone so that you need not save as much to buy the new phone. Or you can trade-in your old phone for the new phone.

i think if you are out away from your pc a lot and you can mylot and do other productive things on a mobile, it would pay for itself eventually. so yes, id buy it if i were you. but first make sure it has warranty or some assurance that it works well. so you wont regret it.

yes you are right I think I could earn back what I have spent for the phone as it will make me earn money online. specially now I'm not motivated to earn online using computer even when at home. I still prefer mobile internet. lots of fun.

Well I currently am trying to save money as I have been getting in a bad habit of spending every penny I get on entertainment ,and not saving anything.I Really think that in this current economic climate we all need to improve our spending habits as you never know when you could loose your job and those living paycheck to paycheck will fall over the edge and be struggling to even get the basics like food or water forget rent , and utility bills.I will save from now on as I really need to be prepared for the hard times that are surely to come in the future and I wish the best of luck to everyone else in this collapsing economy.

that's true better save money. I used to spend all my money I earned online. and nothing left on me. so I decided to buy the phone I'm using now in posting here in mylot so I can see where my money go. but it lacks wifi. I loved the touchscreen phone since the first day I loved specially for internet. now I'm planning to buy another one with wifi and 3g features so I can enjoy internet wherever I am.

Saving money comes in handy. We put $ away and when we had a car breakdown, then we had $ to fix it. Then we replaced that $ slowly and when we needed fuel for our furnace this winter, we had the $ for that. When people had difficulty paying us and we needed to pay our bills, we couldn't wait for those people, we paid our bills. Now the people who owe us money have caught up, but it would have cost us $ if we had waited for them.
Whatever way you save money, if it works for you, is a good way. Take care and good luck. I don't think you'll ever be sorry that you did save.

Correct me if I am wrong, you said you are a heavy mobile internet user so I would assume that you are the kind that is always on the move right? Given that, I think that it is not impractical at all. I think that it will give you more convenience. In fact, I believe that it will save you some money. You will not have a computer while on the run so if you need to get connected, you will just have to find a wifi free zone and you will be on line without spending any amount. If you are concerned about your current phone which still works well, good thing that it does because you may sell it online. This way, it will still be of use.

as for me, there's nothing wrong if you want to buy a new phone because my principle in life is that there's nothing wrong if you will sometimes treat yourself, pamper yourself especially if you're working already. it's not bad if seldom you will reward yourself after having so much work. but, still try to limit things. that's what i learned when i started earning. it's not easy to earn money coz you have to work for it that's why i'm beginning now to learn how to save..:)
