hello guys i want to know from you how should i convince my father to port from CDMA to GSM and to sell his old SAMSUNG GALAXY POP CDMA bought last october and get a new SONY XPERIA MIRO....

he always says he will use a phone for atleast 2 and 1/2 years before buying a new phone...
not against that but atleast one should get a good phone then use it...

how should i convince him????
and how much would the upcoming sony xperia miro cost and how much would his galaxy pop cdma sell for???

Why would you need to convince him, doubt your father plays android games or use apps much.

If your dad is happy with the current phone, nothing you can do to convince him.
The most you can do is to "accidently" drop his phone in water or something. ;)

Well apart from the cdma thing i don't think there's any other reason he should change

Make him meet with my dad. He wanted to get the S3 but I told him to wait for Note 2 instead :p

reasons:
1.cdma network so no proper 3g plans and no specific cdma gprs plans
so high bills
2.poor screen.highly pixellated
bought at a time when it costed 9k(last october)
tempted towards SE LWW /SE Xperia Miro

Dear Friend please don't manipulate your dad,even if you feel its best for him.

Give him suggestion when he asks for one but don't make it a habit out of it. Some day you may not like your mother....
