iPhone + Rogers = Happy Canadians?
I want an iPhone. I don’t care how trendy iPods, iMacs, iBooks, iTunes, and American Idol is, I still want one. Look at it up there… being all sexy-like…gig-a-dee ! The specs on this beautiful piece of hardware makes many geeks mouths water, like watching those late night “pick up the phone” infomercials. I would trade a kidney for one. I would drink a shot of crickets. I would even…watch the entire first season of the American version of The Office. (yes, the one minus Ricky Jervais)
I have 2 problems issues with the Canadian iPhone launch. The most obvious headache is $599 US price tag…eek. Justifying spending that much quid on a glorified iPod Video/cell phone/ PDA/ mobile web browser would suggest that you really have a stiffy for portable gadgets and a great job with a bank…or successful IT Company.
The second bag of shit is the fact that Canadians have to switch to Rogers if they want to use the iPhone! Personally I still have over a year left on my contract with “the other guys”. So would probably have to add another couple hundred dollars if i broke the contract so… it would be silly for me to buy one….unless i bought the iPhone…used the other features and NOT activate the phone until my Aliant contract runs out…sound logical?
(creepy)
On a rather humorous note, McDonalds is petitioning to have the word McJob removed from the dictionary !
I would like to read Douglas Coupland’s Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture
