Why I'm Not Buying A Apple iPhone
Ive been watching the iphone rumors since I started this blog. There's no one that's a bigger fan of an Apple cell phone than I. But my excitement has waivered and I wont be buying one.
- Nothing to do with technical issues, but I simply cannot afford a large purchase at this time.
- How much are they going to over charge for a voice and data plan. Why won't they say before June 29th? Because it's going to cost a freaking arm and a leg.
- It has to replace my Sony Ericsson K750i on T-Mobil. It appears that it can replace all the applications on the SE and will sync with my address book. But will it be able to work with Salling Clicker? Will it take the beating that my SE does (I drop it all the time and it works as good as if it was new). Seems unlikely.
- T-Mobil sucks at my house. I barely get a signal. Will AT&T be any better? I doubt it. I can't roam onto AT&T or Cingular because I can't get their signal at home either.
- It has to replace my Palm TX. Since real applications cannot be written for the iPhone, i would still have to carry around my Palm, web based apps wont cut it.
- I sync my Palm with Outlook using PocketMirror and sync between my Palm and Mac using Missing Sync. It works pretty flawlessly. Not sure that will work with the iPhone.
- It has to replace my 60GB iPod Photo. I could cut out some of my playlists, but i'm not sure 8GB is enough room for music and photos.
People at work know what a Apple fan boy I am. I constantly get asked if I have pre ordered my iPhone. Uh no, bitches, YOU CAN'T PRE ORDER A IPHONE. Then I try to explain to them why I'm not buying one, but I usually just get blank stares.
Maybe 2.0 will be better
