Should i buy this Video camera?

Should I buy a cell phone or a flip video camera?

• I have saved up alot of babysitting money and now I want to buy either a phone or filp video camera. I have an iPod touch so I usually use that to text and film my music videos on. BUT my iPod has fallen numerous times and I'm scared it's gonna break so I would like to buy a cheap, yet good quality camera which I think would be a flip ultra HD for me. But then the phone, I am going into 8th grade and I think I should have a phone but I would still be able to text on my iPod. BUT I need Wi-Fi for it. any ideas? Thanks[:

• Answer:

  Well, the Flip Ultra HD Video camera has better video quality than an iPhone. You already have an iPod. Have you factored in the price of the monthly charges with taxes on the phone the data plan is really expensive? You could just save that money and get something really cool if you can already text on your iPod. If you bought your iPod from best buy you can get the insurance plan and if it breaks they'll give you a new one. Or get an otterbox so it doesn't break. That way if you really want a phone you can get a pre paid boost mobile phone so it doesn't end up costing lots of money every month. So, my answer is to put the money in a money market account so by the time you're 30 you'd have made a lot of money on the interest.
