Poll question: Okay, I can afford to get one of these this week.

Edited on Tue Dec-09-08 01:32 AM by Tilion

Which one should I get?

The Blackberry Storm

Or

This tattoo:

I really can't decide, so I'm leaving it up to you guys. :)

Edit to add this will be a Christmas present for myself.

1. My dear Tilion!

Well, I'm no help! Two votes...50/50!

I voted for the Blackberry...

The tattoo is cool, but how useful is it?

The Blackberry will be something you can use for a long time...

Maybe it will help you get a job, or a better place to live or something like that!

The tattoo, though beautiful, just sits there...

That's what I'd choose!

Good luck!

:hug:

3. That's why I'm torn between these two choices.

The tattoo would have a personal meaning for me, and I'd love to have the symbol on myself at all times, but the phone is just awesome. Full HTML internet, QWERTY keyboard, touch screen, email, it's got everything. I should probably add that I already have a cell phone (LG Chocolate 2). It does everything I want, but texting is a pain in the butt because it doesn't have the keyboard. And I'm eligible for a new cell phone in May, so I don't know. I'll see how the poll goes. :)

Thank you for your suggestion, btw. :)

4. I'm leaning towards that.

I can always get a new phone in May (see my post to Peggy). :) :hi:

10. The tat! I'll make my case:

Eventually, the phone you want will come down in cost. Or another one will come out that has all the features and more that you want at a better price.

A tattoo is forever. No need to buy batteries or sign up for a tattoo plan.

I wouldn't leave it up to a Lounge poll because most people on here are more interested in cat pictures with horrible grammar.

(Don't get THAT tat, either. Tribal sun? C'mon. so 1996.)

13. Tattoos last longer

though they can be expensive to remove later, like early termination of the phone contract :P

14. Look at it this way: in 25 years both of them will be shitty

I know, 2031 is the distant future, but by then you'll have a handle on the passage of time and how it changes.

15. I say tattoo

and get the phone when you are eligible, because it costs a lot more to get it now, right?

And think how happy you'll be knowing you bought me something!
