I spent all week out of town so I haven’t written any new posts.  Ok, so I only spent a day out of town, the rest of the week I couldn’t put my iPhone down.  So when I got in line for the iPhone, I first thought I’d buy a whole bunch to sell.  By the time it was my turn in line, I decided to just get two phones.  The phones sat in my house while I contemplated either putting them on ebay, getting new lines, or just returning them.  Since I just renewed my T-Mobile contract for 2 more years, I decided to be sensible about it.  I went to my local wireless retailer to sign up for a new family plan with AT&T.  I got 2 more phones for just a penny plus a $50 mail in rebate.  Since I already have phones, I get to ebay the new ones for around $200 each (we listed them tonight). 

So is the iPhone worth it?  Ok, the phone is so worth it, I actually jump up and down out of excitement when I realize I need to make a phone call.  The phone is actually underhyped if that is possible.  After using the iPhone, I go back to my Windows Mobile based smart phone and just get frustrated.  The iPhone is so easy to use, my 3 year old has already figured out how to play her favorite YouTube videos and then bookmark them for later.

I called my brother right after signing up for AT&T and asked if he was happy with his service since he switched to Cingular.  He asked why so I told him that I got an iPhone.  He laughed so loud my wife could hear him from the other side of the car.  He said he hoped I was embarrassed.  For what?  The iPhone is my greatest impulse purchase I have ever made.  Apparently getting an iPhone on day 1 is “geeky” or something.  Ok I register domain names as a hobby and when I have free time I like to play Sudoku.  I could go on and on but I don’t think that the iPhone adds to my geekiness.
