Why the smile, Dina?
Wives are funny. I'm gonna tell you a little
story that explains the previous statement.
About a month ago, Apple announced that they were cutting the Iphone prices by $200. Although I've been wanting one, I had decided I'd wait until I could justify spending a few hundred bucks on another phone (i have a fully functioning smart phone already). I mentioned the price-cut news to Dina and also how "proud" I was of myself for not having rushed to buy it.
Of course, Dina not really listening to me, said, "Oh cool, I want an Iphone".
"I'll never buy you an Iphone, you'll drop it again and again like you've dropped your last phone", I said.
"But my phone is old", she responded, eventhough it was only 1-1/2 yrs old. We left it at that.
Well, the next day, Dina calls me on her way home from work and serious-as-a-heart attack tells me, "This morning I accidentally dropped my phone again and all the buttons fell off. Nothing works on this thing."
"What? How did you call me if nothing works?"
"Uhhh, I just pushed them and thankfully you were my last call and it redialed", she said.
I changed the subject cause I knew where she was going with this. Throughout the day I kept thinking of the 4-gig Iphone and it's reduced price. Finally, I decided I'd take advantage and buy it, thus making my pretty little wife really happy with a cool surprise gift. Needless to say, she was very very happy when I gave it to her.......but why did I say that "wives are funny"?. Well, when she arrived home and I asked her to let me take a look at her old phone, yup, you guessed it....barely a little damage and her buttons seemed to work great when I tried using that phone. Like I said, "wives are funny". But that's why we love'em!

-After having an Iphone around for a month, we really recommend it. Even if you have to switch carriers! Here's why:
--The slideshow feature is A W E S O M E. Big screen, crisp details, great if you are showing your work to potential customers!
--The maps feature. Now you can download a patch and you have a GPS Iphone!
--Common sense: Everything is soooo easy to set and change and find. Unlike other "smart" phones!
--It's an Ipod. Hear music, watch movies.
--Web access. Yes, it's kinda slow, but you have the internet just about anywhere.
--MAC users: Syncs seamlessly with your laptop or desktop. You just plug it in!
--Organize! It really helps you keep track of everything. Like I said, sync it to your computer.
I'm still trying to hold off and waiting for the 2nd generation, but it sure is getting harder to wait when I see Dina using hers! If you were debating about getting one, I hope this post helped!
