deal
i made a deal with my teenager. he can have my old phone if he gets his mother (and me) a smartphone. the problem is choosing. it's like work to go through all the plans and get the best deal. so tom sawyer it. he does the work. and gets rewarded with a crappy phone. it'll make calls and send texts. what more do you want? heh. course the most often used function of my (soon to be his) phone is the clock.
