iWant an iPhone

I like my phone, it's a great phone, it's the Motorola Z9, which is basically the Razr in the body of a slider. It makes calls with great clarity, I can access the internet (somewhat,) and there's a pretty good camera in it. It really should be all I'll ever need.

The problem is, I want more... I want full html internet access and GPS and helpful applications and bigger storage and WiFi and touchscreen and and and... well basically what I really want is an iphone.

Yes, the iphone, 2007's greatest invention, and one that has now paved the way for countless imitations. It is truly a remarkable piece of equipment that goes beyond what a phone was ever thought to be.

The 'apps' that you can get from Apple are almost enough to sell the device alone, but everything else works great too. It's a good phone with good clarity, the camera is just as good, if not better, than my Z9 and the full html internet access would allow me to finally see all those websites that I currently cannot on my phone.

Not to mention the interface, which puts everything in front of you with the push of a button...uh, i mean, a push of a screen. Accessing your calender, or youtube video or a best friends' phone number has never been so easy. Geez, I want one...bad!

So, ok I've established that I want one, but why don't I have one? Well, it's a financially tough time right now and I am currently moving into a new house. On top of that I am getting married in a few months. The timing just isn't right.

The sign of hope on the horizon is actually due to all the imitators. The price of the iphone, which initially retailed for about $600 is finally coming to a reasonable price tag of about $200. It's still a bit more than I can spend right now, but that doesn't stop me from wanting it and bitching about how I don't have it.

I'll have to re-evaluate my financial situation after a couple of months in my new house, hopefully I can manage a few extra bucks and finally get my hands on this magnificent technology... I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
