But, I NEED one of these!

I'm sure that most of you reading this have heard about all of the reason why you need to have an iPhone, why you MUST have an iPhone. Well, it's now time to hear a few reasons(10 to be exact) why you don't need the newest, latest and greatest(and most expensive) phone out there.

Almost like the real thing


The 10 Reasons

  1. Do you really want to always know where you going with the GPS? Sometimes it's just more fun to get lost.

  2. Accelerometers are for pansies.

  3. The iPhone 3.0 will probably be out in 2 months.
  4. Touch screens are just a fad.
  5. You're already in with the hipsters, so why risk going overboard?
  6. People are really getting sick of hearing the term '3G'.
  7. There are WAY too many apps to choose from.
  8. If you buy one then you're saying that you like the 3,000,000 iPhone ads that you see everywhere and they win.
  9. White headphones get so dirty so, so fast.

  10. If I wanted to drink a beer, I would do the real thing.

Love it! Someone offered to get me an IPhone 3G for my birthday in July, and I had to tactfully turn 'em down.

#5 is a big one. An Environment California canvasser who came to the door while I was at my parents' for dinner guessed what neighborhood in Oakland I live in... and when asked how he knew, answered, "Oh, all my hipster friends live over there." It was a little scary.

You forgot another reason. Your friend at work has one and lets you play with it on break :)

I don't even really know what an iPhone is or what I'd do with it.

It's kind of like a toaster, but with a WAY cooler screen.

I hate my RAZR, and if the iphone makes toast, I'm definitely in! Now if I could only get basic cable on my other toaster, I'd be a happy Jackalope.

#3 and #4 are the best reasons to me, and it's aggravating like I don't know what to try to push the icons on a touch screen phone especially if you don't have skinny fingers. I wouldn't even buy the iphone even if it could make toast, but if I could attach it to the hood of my car and harness its power so that I would never have to buy gas again, then I'd definitely pick one up.

Amazing....

talented: If an iPhone could save me from using gas, then this would be an entirely new Hub altogether. Maybe in version 3.0?

I don't know what I'm missing so I guess I don't need it. Congrats on your 1st hub.

I'm with livelonger, I don't really want to join an Iphone club (like someone once asked me to join because I drive a Mini - why would I want to join a club for my car? I don't get that one) but I do love my Iphone ever so. Why you ask? Because I have the Magic 8 ball from when I was a kid on the phone and now I let it make all my really important decisions for me...can you say the same of your Razr (had it) or your "Smart phone" (had it) I think not!

Hahaha even though I have an iPhone, I liked your top 10 reasons :)

Let me add THREE (I have the older iPhone):

1. When receiving picture texts, I have to view it on a website and it expires in 7 days.

2. I can't send picture texts... just pictures via email.

3. Can't record videooooo :(

IDK they look really cool. But what do I know about cool, I'm way past the age of cool :-)

RE #1 GPS- I always say when the apocalypse comes, everyone will get lost, because they won't be able to read a map. (Won't be able to flush, wash or dry in a public rest room either)
