I am sooooo juiced
for tomorrow morning.
After two insufferable years with the crappiest, most aggravating, poorly designed, useless piece of garbage phone in the history of telecommunications, I'm getting an iPhone.
I've been drooling over them for a year now, but Verizon's absurd contract terms and termination fee has kept me from pulling the trigger. Meanwhile all the cool people are googling themselves as they walk down the street, or twittering about how the dork next to them (i.e. me) is carrying some lame-ass phone that doesn't even play movies. In my line of work if you don't have an iPhone you might as well be carrying a beeper.
The line at the AT&T store down the block has already formed, and the Apple Store has had a line since last Saturday. I can only think of one thing that would get me to camp out for a week on a urine-soaked sidewalk, and this ain't it. But come 8 AM you'd better believe I'll be scratching at the window of one of those stores. I will not be denied.
And finally, my life will be complete.
Apparently, your Moto Q sucked ass. Mine - the Moto Q Global - is actually a pretty damn good phone

I have the palm treo, which I loved until it went senile on me. I have been thinking about dealing with the fees I will incur by breaking with Verizon but i think they may be worth it. I guess you can IM me from your new phone tomorrow and let me know how awesome it is...

When my wife forces me to own a cellphone, the iPhone just might be the one.

Our contract on our current phones just happens to be running out this month... and wouldn't you know it?! The iPhone 3G makes a debut.
Would I stand in line for it? Uh, no. I wouldn't stand in line for a full Beatles reunion.
But I may have to pull a trigger or two myself...

UPDATE: I stood in line for two hours this morning in the blistering sun, and moved 40 feet. People thanked me as I got out of the line and walked home. I'll swing by later just in case, but if I can wait a year I can wait another couple days if I need to. Screw that.

And, does that iPhone somehow reverse your aging process?? Between your sidebar pic and Liz's blog I woulda thought you'd seen a cosmetic surgeon.
All on the cusp of news that cellphones will make your brain fall out.

Have you laid hands on the Holy Grail?!? I actually have to wait until Nov. 26 when my Sprint contract expires, and will be borrowing a pile of my daughter's bibs for all the drooling I'll be doing between now and then.

My phone is so old it doesn't take pictures and the menu to read a text message is so antiquated that no one can figure it out. There are texts that are trapped in phone limbo on my cell.
I WANT an iPhone. But I will wait patiently just a bit longer.
