The day has come to make up my mind on an iPhone

Blueface · 01-27-2009, 09:55 AM

Well,
Have given it lots of thought.
Considered the pros and cons.
My Verizon contract is up today, at midnight.
That leaves me free to jump ship.

I really like Verizon but I really like that iPhone more.
I was laughing silly last night at the Eagles concert when a co-worker of mine pulled out her iPhone and next thing I see, she has a Zippo lighter, she then acts like she is flicking it open, she then acts like she is lighting it, a flame comes on, and she can actually blow at it and it moves.

Now that may be stupid stuff but man, my current phone barely keeps time.

I want toys!!!

I've been enjoying mine Carlos. There are a lot of cool apps for it too, aka lots of toys.

croatan · 01-27-2009, 10:00 AM

As a toy, the iPhone is even more fun than I thought it would be. It's also just incredibly handy. You'll dig it, Carlos.

dunng · 01-27-2009, 10:01 AM

I like my Curve

I use it non stop for work...

Don't ask here, you know you will do it. It is just another Mac you can grenade, you wild man, LMAO>

Trust me, after blowing up two mac books, I am afraid of what I might do to that phone.
Time will tell.
I think I want it more not only because of all the neat stuff it does but the neatest of all, how it will hum with my mac book.

Footbag · 01-27-2009, 10:05 AM

I love mine. Not a decision you will regret!

qwerty1500 · 01-27-2009, 10:09 AM

Absolutely love mine ... for both work and play.

Blueface · 01-27-2009, 10:11 AM

I just realized.
Today is the day to make up my mind but can't get the darn thing until tomorrow as I want to carry over my number.
Bummer.

I think I am going to get the 16 GB.

King James · 01-27-2009, 10:11 AM

Go for it, Carlos! wish I could right now

Mugen910 · 01-27-2009, 10:15 AM

Don't do it! Get the G1 Google phone from Tmobile!

rhythm11 · 01-27-2009, 10:18 AM

i went from Sprint to ATT for the iPhone and i ported my number on the last day of my contract. check online to see if you have satisfied your contract...oh btw my iPhone has saved me so much time but checking email and then there are the apps...I just jailbroke mine last week but haven't figured Cydia or Installer out quite yet...

T-Mobile is not as big in my area.
Blackout areas are common from what folks have told me.
My son had them and gave it up for that reason.

Android isn't there yet. I've played quite a bit with the G1, and while I think the platform will compete with Apple's mobile OS in the future, it ain't there just yet. If anything Palm's new Pre looks to be the biggest competitor to Apple, can't wait to play around with one!

You'll love the iPhone Carlos. The apps make the phone, it's the handiest gadget i've bought in years.

I'm an old-school Palm fan. I'll be picking up the Pre as soon as it's available.

Just checked out the Pre.
Sometimes small is great but it looks a bit too small.
I am getting old.
I need my glasses.
I need BIG.

As long as the keyboard is bigger than the Centro, I'll be ok. The screen is actually bigger than the current Treos.

I have T-Mobile they are good, but no G-3 network....why

Blueface · 01-27-2009, 11:09 AM

I just went onto my Verizon account to make my wife's the primary account number so I can start the process for deleting mine.
She is going to keep Verizon as she always talks to my daughter on it and she has Verizon also, so it doesn't cost either anything.

The funny thing is that for months, they kept telling me how my contract would be up today and offering me discounts on new phones with a new two year agreement.
As of today, there are no messages to remind me any longer.
I think they may be on to something.

ucla695 · 01-27-2009, 11:21 AM

I'll face the same decision this summer. My Verizon contract will be up and then I'll have to decide if I want to jump ship for the iPhone. There are several things holding me back. First, I have very little service problems with Verizon. I had AT&T several years ago and the service was bad, but that was before they merged with Cingular. Second, it will be the end of me. I'm not sure the wife will ever be able to pry it away from me.
