As much as I have wanted to, but held back from, I was forced to buy an iPhone. Well, yea "forced" is a bit of a stretch :) Most who know me, know I'm cheap as hell. I like "stuff" but I always over analyze purchases which typically allows me to talk myself out of buying the item.
I'm an Apple fanatic and said I would get the iPhone as soon as it hit the store shelf. Problem was, I had a perfectly working phone with my Motorola Q on the Sprint network. I just couldn't justify the purchase. The MotoQ started flaking out about three weeks ago - not holding a charge, going dead, just acting plum crazy! I bought a brand new battery thinking that was root cause of the issue. The problem persisted, to the point that I could only use it when it was on the AC adapter. So, I went weeks with missing calls and dealing with the frustration of the phone. I can't miss calls, especially from the physicians involved in my treatment, the MotoQ had to go.
Behold, all that is beautiful in telephony and technology combined... (I'm a geek at the highest level!)
There has been talk about Apple coming out with a phone for years.... According to the Mac rumor sites the speculation is that it will come to fruition pretty soon. The photo is an artist's rendition of the iPhone. Many think that this is a very likely design based on the new 5G Nano - think:games and video. The click wheel will slide down to expose the numeric keypad. Of course it will come in all the cute Apple colors. I wonder what wireless carrier will have it first? I hope Sprint....cause I will be all over this thing!
