Submit to peer pressure? Never!

Ask yourself, does it work, having any problems, how close am I to contract end, will I have to pay retail price, only you can decide if you want to pony up the cash for a new one.

I don't keep up with the Jones'.

There is no such thing as an embarassing BlackBerry. Any BB owner is a privilegd person IMHO.

A phone should never be embarrassing. There are people around my age (15) who don't even have cell phones. Why does that matter about people around my age? Think how self conscious teenagers are. They care a lot about what people think and not having a cell phone definitely strikes them. I use to have a lame flip Samsung that I remember a friend making fun of once. I didn't care. I actually enjoyed using that phone anyway.

If you like it and it fits your need, who cares what someone else says? Tell them if they're so worried about it, buy you a new one.
