iphone freaks

today the new iphone was released. the only reason i know this is because it was on the fox5 atlanta morning show while i was at tires plus this morning. i also know it because between tires plus and the office, i stopped by the starbucks in atlantic station and passed by the AT&T store and there were at least 100 people lined up outside. some with overnight gear.

seriously?! you people are freaks. its a P-H-O-N-E. you'll get one if you want one. you probably already have one. that one can't tide you over until say tomorrow?

granted, its a cool phone. but nothing is THAT cool. relax. take it easy. play on your current one.

i will probably get an iphone, but i have to wait until the crowd dies down because i have a bit of a situation for mine. i have a verizon phone and i love it. the phone is fine, but nothing beats verizon wireless service. this shit is the JAM! but i also have an AT&T phone that my mother gave me. its a 703 number. my friends and i call this phone the batphone. my mother sent it to me because "i never call her" and since in network calls are free, it only cost her $10 to keep in touch with me specifically. she also points out i can call my sisters too and it doesn't cost anything. it's also got some minutes (a couple hundred), so if i'm going over my Verizon minutes (which never happens), i can use the AT&T phone.

well the phone i have for AT&T service is kinda busted. it used to be an old as dirt phone that i think chasey "ate" and then my friend L gave me her old razr. i don't know how i managed it, but the battery falls out every now and then and now the charge doesn't keep, so i'm due for a new phone....incidentally, i've never gotten an iphone or even considered one until now because i can't take care of myself, let alone a phone and iphones aren't exactly the toughbooks of cellphones. this hasn't changed, but i've bought into the "coolness" factor of the iphone.

so my mom only pays $10 for service on the phones i've had, but the iphone needs a data plan, but i also don't want her to incurr the cost. so i have to find a way to pay for the phone and negotiate the monthly fee for it (with a data plan). see. issues.
