Smart Deals for Young Consumers
This holiday season, more than half of youngsters expect a phone - a smart phone, that is - as a gift from Santa. Industry estimates put two-thirds of teens and nearly half of tweens alreadying owning a mobile phone. We know kids and teens communicate, constantly. They talk, they text, they instant message, they tweet …
The ideal phone for them?
AT&T’s iPhone is great, but its $199 price tag and hefty monthly fee is daunting for parents trying to save money in this holiday season; Sprint’s Instinct is cheaper on handset, but the $99 monthly fee will deter most of parents too. T-mobile’s G1 is interesting and could be a good choice, the latest report indicates T-mobile expects the newly launched G1 sales top 1 million in 2008.
