If anything, I am two things:
I love getting my hands on new little electronic gadgets (which reminds me - I have a PSP to return to someone). And after a 5-year absence, I’m using a newish MacBook. And Mighty Mouse. And Ariport Extreme.
If there’s one thing I’m not, it’s a phone person. I just don’t need to be in touch with everyone at every minute of the day. Sure, it comes in handy to have a cell phone available when you need it, but 95% of the time, I could easily live without one.
So where do i stand on the iPhone?
My Sprint contract expires in July, so it would be a perfect time to switch to AT&T and get me one of the brand new iPhones that are supposedly right around the corner.
But I’m not.
My “commute” to work is 10 minutes if I walk slowly. It would be nice to have a little music playing, or maybe listen to a podcast on the walk, but I can do that when i get to the office. And while it would nice to be able to get on the web anytime, anywhere… I can wait. I’m on the computer 8 hours at work, and typically a few more before and after work. A little analog time is not a bad thing for me.
It’s the kind of thing I would absolutely love for a few weeks, and eventually sit in my pocket 95% of the time. Between the $500 price tag and the service upgrade (my current bill is $35 a month, and I don’t feel good about that), it’s just not worth it.
You go right ahead, though.
