I just read an interesting article about the math behind the Nexus One subsidized or unsubsidized, which breaks down the cost of an unsubbed phone to $49 after the adjusted cost over 2 years.
This is an interesting quandary to me as, a few of my closest colleagues will know, my phone has been damaged beyond operation and I need to get a new cellular device in the near future (say, three months) to properly continue operation within the modern digital lifestyle. I have been considering purchasing a Nexus One after I had settled into new living quarters, as those places where I had planned to spend money before became much more tenuous.
What is curious to me, though, is the option of full-data plans and the inclusion of VOIP software for the basic functions of a telephone. Would I prefer using Skype for my day to day transactions, or switching entirely to a Vonage plan of some kind? I do believe I would. I'm hoping that either a future update or a program set would allow me to do this. Data freedom, data availability, is only a good thing in my mind.
What are your thoughts on phones, data, and the changing landscape of the mobile market?
Thank you for your time,
To your grace and enlightenment,
The Magus
