GET ONE. The Maps feature alone is worth the money. @Scarlett @Laurie My husband got his iPhone on the initial release date, and I bought one 3 weeks later. GET ONE.

I could get at the most 30 gallons for $2.60 / gallon. oy. I think this would save me the "uuuugggghhh" when I look at my bank statement. Then the other $100 on gas station snack food! Yea! well, my $600 is paying back my savings.

For $1200, might I recommend Aruba? Reasonably priced hotel rooms, decent people, nice beaches. No need for an all inclusive resort as the restaurants are pretty good. Although if I had $1200, I might get a TV and watch the travel channel. Perrik, if you’re going to spend $1200 on travel, you could go somewhere tropical and sip fruity drinks on the beach.

It might go towards a new TV - something with a working remote control would be good. Or maybe we'll put it towards a scouting trip to Seattle, as we're thinking about moving there.

Don't you need an XBOX 360 or something? @Wenchie Why don't you upgrade and pay good-looking dudes to move your crap? Burly = germy and drunk. @Rachel Your secret is safe with me. Like you're ever going to retire, anyway. @Herb Food & gasoline are important but you’re buying those, anyway. Don’t you need an XBOX 360 or something?
