iPhone Withdrawl

As anyone who knows me knows, I am a gadget guy. Love gadgets, love little electronic things to carry around. Now the mother of all gadgets come out and as a certified gadget geek and apple geek I think I have a responsibility to go get one of these shiny objects to call my own. But alas it is not to be, at least not yet. In addition to being extremely overpriced, I have the bad luck to have made a bone headed decision a year ago to sign a two year contract with Verizon. Now I have a year old Razr that can't make it till 5pm without the battery dying, and have to hack into the phone's system to get the photos on my computer thanks to Verizon's draconian locked system.

I haven't looked at the prices lately for breaking my contract, but I'm sure its a few hundred dollars, which of course my wife would refuse to allow me to do anyway. I should have left Verizon in the first place for having the worst designed logo of any major phone company. Although unfortunately VSA's Cingular logo was shown the door to bring back the mega-brand and newly friendlified at&t globe.
