Time Consuming Like No Other
I’ve spent the last NINE hours of my life playing with my new phone. I even forgot to eat. I’m considering doing that now, but alas I’m still using aforementioned phone and can’t seem to pull myself away from it.
Guess what type of phone I got?
Yep, I’ve hopped on the iPhone bandwagon. I know, I know. I was never planning on getting one because of the price, because I was too cheap to pay US$24 per month for the data plan, I didn’t think I needed all that on my phone, 16 GB wasn’t enough space, etc. Plus I had never really used one despite my many visits to the Apple Store.
Then my brother got one the day before yesterday. And I stole it last night for half an hour and was instantly addicted.
That’s how they get you. Bastards.
If I has has to pay for it myself upfront I would have never got it. Instead it was a combination of a huge discount (new phone credit plus my dad’s 40% UPS employee discount) and it being my belated Christmas pressie that made it happen.
Now I’m wondering how I ever lived without the ability to look up bus and movie schedules on my phone. Do you know how fun it is to wait at a timetable-less stop for an hour and realizing it’s never going to show up? In the rain? At the only bus stop without a shelter? And nobody is answering their phone to give you new bus info.
Yeah. I love it. I’m one of THOSE people.
I also just realized my last post, a particularly ranty rant, didn’t post for whatever reason. Meh. I still have a copy on my hard drive so I’ll likely post it tomorrow.

Oh..you make me want an Iphone so badly. I’ve got a new phone a few months ago and I’m very satisfied, but it seems the Iphone gives so much more. Me wants!
What other advantages has the Iphone against regular models?
-
Don’t other phones have internet access (for bus and movie times), too?
Oh, what am I saying. I definitely would not turn down an iPhone :P
Remember to eat! ;)

My boyfriend has an iphone … while it’s nifty and all, I need a keyboard. LOL. That’s why I’m planning on getting a Touch Pro — it’s still a smart phone, but it doesn’t cost as much for data plan.
I used to hate waiting for the metro, so I just started carrying a Gameboy / Nintendo DS. :(

Haha.
My brother has an iTouch, and it is seriously amazing! It would be awesome to have an iPhone, I’m telling ya… although, you already know. :PHave fun!

I absolutely love my iPhone. I can’t imagine using any other phone now, and that’s because I’ve had quite a few phones in my day. Even my Blackberry, which I absolutely loved, can’t compare to the iPhone. So much stuff you can do with it! It’s great. :)

The Iphone seems cool but here in Holland you can only get an iphone to work with a certain provider and package and I don’t like to be limited in my choices.
I can pick out a new phone for free in October again (with the renewal of my subscription) and there are so many iphone look-alikes now that give me a much broader choice in providers etc that I’ll just go for one of those.
Either way, I can totally understand that you forgot to eat etc while playing with it. It’s just so damn nifty!

im not a big fan of the iphone because its touch screen.. i love blackberrys!! not the storm tho cause thats touchscreen..yuck. =)

I haven’t really played around on one yet which is probably why I am still not tempted to purchase one. I don’t deserve it though, all of my nice things seem to break.

I’ll say it: I’m green with envy. You should go all MySpace on us and post a picture of yourself holding it in glee. Then I can stare at the screen and salivate at the sight of the phone. :P
