These reviews can be helpful for parents and grandparents!
They also illustrate an often overlooked part of any cellphone/
smartphone purchase...the carrier. It really matters very little
about the "up-front" cost of the device, it's those ongoing,
recurring monthly costs that get expensive. Perhaps it's time
for a "consumer revolt" to at least get the various carriers to
recognize that families with 2 or more kids don't really need
4 data plans! Same with text messaging plans. Your 2
daughters also demonstrate the changing usage of cellphones...texting. They don't "call" anymore, so claims
by carriers of "no dropped calls, crystal clear voice" have
limited impact on this demographic.
I also thought it funny when asked about "web browsing",
both didn't use the browser much, and pretty much agreed
that all phone browsers leave something to be desired!
Nicely done!
