im sure all of you have heard about the motorola atrix the dual core android phone w/ a fingerprint scanner and stuff... well im torn should I sell my iphone to radioshack for $100 and buy the atrix for $50 (really 150 but get 100 from iphone) or put it towards my new rig... right now I have a crap half a gigaherz andoid phone and its getting hard to txt and call but I need a computer really bad too... im like $250 away from my new computer and selling my iphone would make it $150 but at the same time my phone is so crappy right now its impossible to text and very hard to call... but the atrix price will go down to about $50 on amazon wireless in like a month tooo.... lol im thinking out loud here. but what would you guys do? btw this post is so long bc im bored and can't fall asleep. actually this post probably isn't that long just like it on my phone. and my laptop right now is pretty crappy too... 2ghz amd athlon (the reason I hate amd) and its impossible to game on, or even watch youtube videos at above 10fps...
if you read this far wow you must be really bored lol. btw when I build my rig ill record making it on my new phone or digital camera both 720p... and prob post here bc I need to show it off somewhere lol.

y did I make a poll? because I can!! lol

My opinion? Put it toward a computer. You have an iphone and an android. You've already tasted the sweetness of rad phone technology. But tell me...where's your x58? Where's your 2600K? Where's your 500 series NVIDIA or ATI gpu?!

WHERE?!

NOWHERE!

...yet.

You already have an android phone...

Go with the computer dude. Having a sweet gaming machine is like 10x better than having a really up to date phone. As long as you can still get texts and whatever, then you're good to go.

yea thats kinda what i'm thinking. plus the phone will go down in price and can wait a while the computer will generally stay the same price. so now to find how much $ i can get from radioshack. on the site it says $100 for the iphone 3g when the 3gs is selling for $50 so thats kinda weird... but i'll check the store by me and see what they give bc it can take 8 weeks for shipping it via the website.

sorry guys but i went with the atrix because i got $115 for the atrix at radioshack for an in store credit and theres nothing computer related in there so guess it was a good option, not like i'm going to get more than that anywhere else.

well i probably can still get enough for my computer before summer so it all works out pretty good. and btw its an amazing phone, especially compared to what i've had before, like no matter what i run in the background at once and the games/apps w/ max memory settings i can't manage to slow it down even a bit lol.
