I came to my senses and cancelled, too - just in time, as it happened. The phone wasn't going to do anything for me gadget-wise that I don't already have covered and I'm better off with my tiny flip phone in terms of the ability to stick it in my pocket.

If my Prime had been expiring in the immediate future I might have made a different call, but I was anticipating renewal by several months. The bottom line is that I'm relieved instead of wistful. My problem is that I don't have gadget-lust, I have bargain-lust, but when the bargain creates the want, it's no bargain.
