The price on the old phone has dropped some, though, because I remember last year it was $299 with a plan\/contract. I wasn&#8217;t dumb enough to pay that much, though. Although, I did fall prey to the fancy phone seduction because my new phone cost me quite a bit. However, since I didn&#8217;t pay the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.expansys-usa.com\/product.asp?code=SONYERICSSON_S710A\"  target=\"out\"><font color=\"#334477\">Expansys<\/font><\/a> price (which incidentally has dropped to less than $500 since I first started shopping around for this phone), I still think I got a pretty good deal. Not as good of a deal as when I thought it was $700, though. Based on the price it is now, I only saved $150 or so. I need to work on my bargain-hunting skills. So anyway, this is supposed to be my birthday gift this year so I guess I need to make the most of out it and learn to love it. And I need to take care of it better than the last one because I may not be getting another phone for a few years. Unless, of course, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.t-mobile.com\/\"  target=\"out\"><font color=\"#334477\">T-Mobile<\/font><\/a> releases an irressistible new camera phone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a review of my new phone from Engadget.
