Did the roommate come to school with a shiny new iPhone? Are you coming down with a case of phone-envy?
Get an iPod Touch. Apple just slashed costs so you can get one relatively inexpensively. The great thing about having an iPod Touch is that it negates the need for a SmartPhone. Most of us are mostly on campus, which means we have wi-fi access. Constant wi-fi + iTouch = free smart phone. Instead of shelling out $80/month for one, get onto your family's plan with a “Dumb” phone and use your free Smartphone. You'll save an obscene amount of money.
