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.
