So I was blasé about the iPhone
I already had my eye on the Motorola E6 after looking into the Nokia N80 and 6708. They all work on T-mobile, my current service, and have a stylus, on which topic more later. Waiting for iPhone version 2.0 and letting Apple work out the inevitable kinks, crashes and battery issues on other people's time and dime seemed like a reasonable approach. But then it dawned on me: I can make my friend Joe - Mr.look-at-my-latest-gadget

...
lose
...
a
...
few
...
hours
...
of
...
sleep
...
over
...
this.
...
What
...
splendid
...
motivation!
...
Judging
...
by
...
last
...
night's
...
emails
...
from
...
him
...
-
...
mission
...
accomplished.
...
Bwaahhaa
...
hahah!
...
All
...
this
...
joy
...
and
...
excitement
...
thanks
...
to
...
Andrew
...
and
...
company's
...
heroic
...
efforts
...
at
...
the
...
Galleria
...
-
...
for
...
which
...
I
...
am
...
in
...
eternal
...
awe,
...
having
...
sat
...
through
...
them
...
at
...
my
...
desk
...
at
...
work
...
tweaking
...
Stellar
...
stylesheets
...
and
...
watching
...
the
...
...
updates
...
fly.
...
This
...
was
...
logistical
...
genius,
...
the
...
...
...
of
...
event
...
organization.
...
Many
...
jokes
...
were
...
made
...
at
...
the
...
iPhone's
...
expense
...
in
...
the
...
days
...
before
...
its
...
release.
...
"There's
...
no
...
cover?
...
If
...
I
...
put
...
it
...
in
...
my
...
pocket,
...
will
...
my
...
butt
...
call
...
New
...
Zealand?"
...
"What
...
if
...
someone
...
calls
...
you
...
halfway
...
through
...
your
...
spare
...
ribs
...
at
...
Red
...
Bones?"
...
Most,
...
it
...
turns
...
out,
...
unfounded.
