Public statement

[prog]

I am totally in-line for a new iPhone when Apple lifts the expected veil on the device's second generation next month. My little Sony Ericsson brick is four years old, covered in interfaces that nobody supports any more, and works so spottily that I've been asking clients who wish to have a voice meeting if we could use Skype instead. I tell them that I'm holding out for the new iPhones, rather than just picking up a replacement. They understand.

Hm... I actually told myself (and anyone in earshot) from the start that I'd be in as soon as it hit its first major revision, so in that way I'm kind of pleased with myself for holding out so long.

I am totally with you. I have been using a very retro old Nokia "brick" for the last 3 years, which has almost no features and the keys are all worn bare. I was originally holding off on getting an iPhone because I was worried about cellular reception issues in central Maine. Then I moved to a place where my current cell phone doesn't work AT ALL, and discovered the joys of PhoneTag, and figured out it didn't matter as much as I thought it did. I also found actual people with iPhones who didn't have much issue using them in the places where I would be during the day. Then I held off getting an iPhone at Christmas because I knew they would have a new model before this fall. Now I just have to afford it when it comes out.
