I’m Weak
Posted on June 30, 2007So yeah. The iPhone came out yesterday. It’s like a bible story. The temptation to get one is so strong. Since I’m saving up for the MacBook Pro, I have more than enough money in the bank for an iPhone. My AT&T contract is ready for renewal (and therefore eligible for new phone purchase). My RAZR is a big steaming pile of shit. Fourth one in two years. Two of them the screens died. On one of them the processor died. And my current one is showing chip problems as well. Whoo. Other people I internet-know all got one.
So I went to the local AT&T store. Just to look around. With my checkbook.
But alas… They didn’t have any. They are “direct-fulfilling orders”, i.e., I place an order with them, they order it from Apple, and in two to four weeks I get an iPhone. So screw that. I’ll continue saving for a MacBook Pro instead. Though I fear, I may have to suffer the music from the iPhone ads being stuck in my head until I actually do get one… Until then, here is my current iPhone:

brilliant! Absofuckinglutely brilliant! Damned near fell outta mah chair.
How about waiting for the next version?
You see the problem with that idea is the word “wait”.
You know- I actually think I like yours more than mine. As for not being able to find one- try apple stores (I went in the following Saturday to pick up a case and saw more than one person purchase an iPhone).
Lastly- my wife’s got a razr- should I be concerned? You’ve gone through 3?! WTF!?
I could go to the Apple Store but it’s an hour away, and my understanding is that they’re now all sold out. But (announcement forthcoming) I just ordered my MacBook Pro, so that well is all dried up anyways. As long as my RAZR holds out ’til October-ish, I can wait ’til then for an iPhone.
As for your wife’s RAZR, it depends on which one she has. The model I have found to be utter crap is the original V3. I’m assuming that the model your wife has is the i, c, xx, m, or any of the other V3s out there that came later. I haven’t heard any complaints about them, so as long as she hasn’t been having any issues, I wouldn’t worry. Presumably they would have ironed out the bugs from the original. Most of my issues with Moto phones have cropped up within the first month of use. YMMV.
Was on a plane sitting next to a guy who bought one a few days ago. It truly does work as fast as the commercial. Very slick. It will only be a matter of time before I get one now. I’ll just wait for the next version though until my own motorola dies.
