the only excessive expensive seems to be the monthly internet charge, which she had a very week argument for. so get the device and forget the internet option, it will be a nice compromise.

I’m all for poor Nancy having a phone/PDA – I don’t know how Mom’s ever do without a cell phone (see my blog for a recent road-side emergency that would have been REALLY bad without a phone). As for the PDA part, if you prefer, Chris, she could buy one of those planners that cost about $150 plus a new calendar pages thing every year, plus any add-ons that she deems necessary. Those things can easily be $300 before you’re done. So why not get a digital one for her and score some points with the wife.

Hey Chris,
Has Nancy checked out the new iphone? Dan's drooling for one of those--better than a treo and more money!!!! So be grateful she hasn't happened upon the mac world.
Here's a sample conversation between Dan and me:

Court: Hey Dan, I was thinking it would be nice to get _______.

Dan: That's great.

The End--I guess because he knows I always check the money and know it will work. Hope you recover soon from your accident. Crazy.

I am confused. She is proposing a new bill that would only be less than our mortgage,car payment, insurance, electric, and HOA (includes water, cable, garbage, and sewer).

she has a compelling argument.

So maybe the plan is $63 per month, but if you subtract your savings, I say a BIG argument is that you get ALL of those benefits for only $33/month!
What kind of a moron wouldn’t jump on that?

I direct this to Chris and Nancy.

First I am in favor of Nancy receiving a cell phone and I have voted the "phone only" option in the poll. The argument for safety is a compelling one.

Having said that, I understand that Nancy has a history of losing phones, not once, but twice. I do not think an additional investment in a Treo would be a good one until it can be demonstrated that proper care can be taken with a telephonic device that includes getting used to carrying one.

You can get a prepaid phone from Walmart for $18.00. Let me propose that Nancy get a cheaper phone for a time and when it can be demonstrated that the phone is in good hands, talk about an upgrade.

You don't want to give someone a porsche if they are just learning to drive.
