what to do

i can say that i am almost done pouting.
almost.
if i don't think about it too much.  if i think about it too much i punish myself very severely.
the question is what to do now.
the iphone was great for a second camera.  the real reason i loved having it.  with arms full of el guapo it is rather hard to take pictures with a dslr... especially one that goes goofy sometimes and requires manual focus.
added benefit was i kept my calendar on the iphone.
another benefit was internet access at free wifi locations.
they really are addicting little buggers.
so much so that i knew very early on that never want a data plan.  never ever ever.  i don't want to be the person always looking at the palm of the hand.  i had to fight technology addiction and i didn't have internet access half the time.... oi vey i know where i am weak.  i want to remember my children's faces... not the face of the screen.  it's the same with ice cream.  i can leave it in the store but once it crosses the threshold it spends very little time in the freezer so i don't buy ice cream.
so what to do??!!!
unlocked iphones are so expensive it's crippling.  iphones with data plans as phones are cripplingly expensive and then monthly ransoms are required.  i cannot rationalize paying for pocket internet when i have internet access in my home.  what do i do??? i tell hizazzle.  find me a used one unlocked.  we need a video camera and it would be the same price.  and what do you know he finds a solution.
his solution is rather different than mine.  knowing that lots of used iphones for sale could possibly be stolen or fakes (and i do not want to reward crime) we are very particular in the choice of vendors.... and hiz is just not comfortable about something ( i don't know what) and he is jockeying for the ipod touch.
do i sacrifice the mega pixels?  i dont' even know what they are but do i sacrifice them?  i know a bad picture when i see it.  i know a smaller picture when i see it.  i can fix color but it's hard to change size.
i'm at a crossroads over the grand canyon of technology and i'm paralyzed.
