A friend of mine recently upgraded from an iPod Touch to an iPhone and he sold me his iPod for a very reasonable price. There
aren't enough words to describe how much I love it. It's a beautiful device and I can now download all of the 'apps' and take advantage of pretty much all the same features that are in an iPhone (minus the phone, camera and 3G, of course.)Speaking of 3G, that's one of the things that makes me hunger for the iPhone so much... the instant connectivity. Don't get me wrong, wi-fi is popping up all over the place and it's pretty easy to find an unsecured network in any random neighborhood, but it's those times when I can't find wi-fi that my mind immediately thinks of iPhone.
When I'm in a car and would love to look something up online or download a song that is stuck in my head or check the latest Dallas Cowboys news, it's impossible until I can find some wi-fi. This is probably the most frustrating thing.
The lack of a phone and camera are only slightly annoying. I do have to carry around my regular phone as well as my iPod, and it would be nice to have both devices co
mbined into one, but it's nothing that keeps me up at night.I am on the verge of suspending logic and rational thinking and running out to buy an iPhone, but the price is still a major issue.
My recent use of the iPod Touch (which is pretty much 24/7,) has also sparked the interest of my fiancee, who likes its features as much as me, but also worrys about the price. After playing with my iPod and hearing me go on and on about wanting an iPhone, she has stated that if I get one, she's gonna get one too, so we would be looking at a cell phone bill increase from our current $100 to about $180 and it's hard to justify that at the current time.
My only hope is a raise at work or if I somehow, accidentally rob a bank or maybe inherit a fortune from an unknown Uncle who lives in the Faroe Islands.
I'll keep you updated.
