A got a new toy for Xmas and have been trying it out. A few days before Xmas I got a call and it went like this:
My Friend: "Hey Jeff, do you want an iphone 4 to replace your crap phone you use?"
Me: "Um, not really - my crap phone works fine and I am on the lowest payment plan there is since I hardly make phone calls. Plus, I don't even need half the crap on an iphone anyway!"
My Friend: "Come on, you say that now, but look, my friend is getting an iphone 5 for xmas and she wants to sell her iphone 4 for $3000 bucks (about $100 US - they normally sell for $600 new and about $400 used). I would take it but I already have one. Come on, you know you want it."
Me: "Um, not really, but lemme talk to 'my manager.' (he knows what this means)"
A little while later:
Me: "Ok, my manager is a bit pissed that she did not get this rosy deal so in that light, I guess I will let you twist my arm to force upon me another product that will jettison me into the current age. That way, I can waste even more time on apps that are meaningless and search the web for more crap to consume. But at least my manager will be a bit jealous (for awhile anyway). So how about we agree to $2500 and call it a day?"
My Friend: "Sigh, ok, I will ask and check with you later. See, I knew you wanted it...."
Me: "Yeah, but don't think I'll LIKE it...."
Anyway, I have had this little machine for a month now and in fact I need to confess that I do like it, even though I do not have an internet hooked up (although I search for WIFI hot spots) mainly because I can listen to music much easier now and I can take pictures. I could do all that with previous phones but on MY crap phone I could not and thought that was dandy for a time.
But ok, I am getting into it more and more, but seriously, I am still on one of the lowest payment plans, and rarely use it more than I need. Basically the problem is that I am rarely out and when I am out, I zip to and from class with only limited time for doing iphone things anyway, which is why I knew I did not really need it. But, then again, I have to update my toys eventually and so I did.
Here are some pics that I have taken on my new toy.
Enjoy!
It is really difficult to pick my favorites out of this bunch!
Here's to my new toy (and most likely many more)....
