Phones, phones, phones

Ive got a lot to think about when it comes to phones. Currently, I have a few offers lined up for me:
There is an Incredible S on offer for 170 and then I can buy a SIM only deal to accompany that, I can get a contract with the Galaxy S II, for 25.00 per month with 50 handset cost, or 20.00 per month with 190 handset cost (it all depends on the minutes and texts as to those prices), or I can buy a Nexus S when it goes down in price and SIM only that.

Two things: Why are similar phones all priced randomly, with the Wildfire S going from over 300 down to 160 or lower, and then other phones all outselling each other? It makes no sense. The phones all fit into the 150-500 range and that is a massive problem. They need to be put in smaller brackets.

And the other point is, when buying a phone, try and keep it simple for yourself. It make life much better.

"Curses and Sweariness" - When technology doesn't work

(Bleak Expectations again)
I have had many problems with technology and most of them have been fixable or otherwise eliminated. But I did say most. There are some which really get me, the kind which are soo annoying and there seems no way to fix them. One of the most annoying was when I had connected my iPod to my Linux computer and had put on some images which I didn't want and couldn't get rid of them. I had to go into the iPod's folders and delete the images from there, but when I did, ti claimed a malformed file and wouldn't sync with iTunes or gtk iPod manager. Somehow it fixed itself on iTunes, but hasn't on iPod manager.

Another is that I have Conky set up to display my system information, part of it on the left, part of it on the right, but now it stops at half-way, flasing up the right half then it disappears. Why does this suddenly happen?/ Why can't technology just work. I;m a computer geek and even I have problems. How are people's mums going to manage??????????????? Everything nees to be compatible with each other and have easy helpful tips to fix things if they go wrong.
