icePhone Addiction


Someone got a new work phone. That someone explained to the "Q" Section at his work that he'd be happy with a CrackBerry thanks. "Q" Section said all the cool employees have the icePhone.

Luckily Firegazer is on the company phone plan. Because Firegazer gets mobbed by the kids when he gets home. It's my turn on the iPhone, no it's mine. And so on. Padawan Learner's social capital at school has increased because his dad has an iPhone.

If we were paying for this ourselves we'd be taking out a second mortgage on the house already. Music, games, downloads, emails, google earth, video clips. It's just ridiculous. I can totally see how people get into financial trouble with this thing.

I assume it'll all get boring soon. I'm waiting for the day. [even 'though, quietly, I think it is quite cool]

I got mine on my existing phone plan so it's not costing me any extra, but I was worried at first I would end up using the data quota and getting huge bills, but I haven't come close to it. Mind you I'm not playing games or downloading anything, just checking email and surfing the net (it's great for catching up on blog posts when you're waiting around for the kids/in a queue/in the doctor's office!).

The novelty will wear off but it is pretty cool. My favourite feature is the photos - I'll never get tired of that.

It's the games and downloading in our family that would get us into trouble!

the girls' dad is a gadget nut, so I will keep all information on the iphone as far as possible...

I can imagine it is a gadget I would love...I am planningon getting one in the very near future... If MacBooks and iPods are anything to go by (both of which I am addicted to) then this would be awfully addictive too.

Oh, very swish. I have actually never used or seen one, I know no-one that sophisticated, I am obviously lower class....

Miss Ashy has a touch screen ipod which looks exactly the same, but does less. I covet it.

I was checking out the iTouch in the magnifico Apple store on Fri. I resisted. Just. What I ended up with you'll have to wait until Monday because I'm supposed to forget about it.
