The iPhone botnet, coming soon to an over-priced phone near you

My cell contract is up in November and I was deciding what to go for. Given what i have read and heard, I know I WON'T get an iPhone.

Apple is smart though, they are building on their reputation and instead of having tons of features, using their rep and the idea that 'it's an ipod but also a phone' type deal to get people to buy it BEFORE adding a ton of features causing more people to buy it.

As for text messaging, it's funny, but in the States, I have only RECEIVED a few text messages. I have felt that here people don't text nearly as much as they do overseas. Overseas, text messaging was wonderful just because 1.) it was cheaper / free, 2.) you didn't have to worry about not being heard, 3.) what you sent out was on the recipient's phone so if they weren't sure what you said, they could check it again.

Text messaging doesn't really bother me....unless it is so constant that i keep hearing noise due to it. I, myself, kept my phone on vibration only to avoid this as I felt that text messaging had a lower priority than face-to-face conversation and of course other things like work, driving, etc.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
