One of the reasons I have managed to resist the iphone is the ongoing cost of the plan that supports what the iphone can do. Getting an iphone seems like automatically signing up to pay more each month (but then I have a fairly basic plan with pay-as-you go text messages and web browsing). It seems like the pay as you go plan would be better right now-- since you are in the midst of trying to move and freeing up extra money for stuff for the new house is never a bad plan.

Why is it that the old furnishings never fit just right in a new house? We had to buy all kinds of weird things-- trash bins, light fixtures, etc... when we moved into our current house.
