The economy can't be THAT bad....

Just because someone is spending money now doesn't mean that they're being irresponsible with credit.

Exactly - I have Verizon and have always gotten a really good deal on new phones at the end of the contract. The last time we renewed, my wife got her Blackberry for free, practically.

Honestly a cell phone seems like a pretty good investment. I mean it's something most people use every day. I am a college student and don't even have a land line. I honestly have a crap phone, but I use it enough to maybe want to get something on the crap side. Why are we concerning over a cell phone anyway? I mean so many folks drive the new $50-100 thousand dollar car, or buy the Play station 3 and what not, but I'm hearing no complaints over those luxuries. I mean I don't have a PS3, but if I did I know damn well I'd be using my cell phone more often than the videogame system.
