Ok… I’m a little jealous

Sunday, July 1st, 2007

I love new toys and I hate V1’s… so I’m always torn when new things come out. When the Xbox 360 came out I waited about a month and then bought one on eBay and picked it up on Thanksgiving (I used a gift certificate I got as an award to make me feel better about the price paid). But as much as I want an iPhone I can’t justify it. I know… I know.. I’m not one of those people that needs to “need” something to get it but there are three or four things I hate spending money on. Cell phones and internet access are squarely in that category. On top of that I just upgraded my blackberry which I actually need for work so I can’t trade up to something that isn’t better than the blackberry in the ways I need it for work.

Anyway- here’s a great “morning after” review that does an awesome job of detailing the negatives of the iPhone but also shows how little they matter if you have the device lust like so many of us do. The nice part (for my piece of mind) is that the author agrees with me about the iPhone not serving as a replacement if you’re a heavy blackberry writer.

Joon-soo: Even though you haven’t told me you got one I’m assuming you’ll let me try your iPhone the next time I see you. ;-)
