The Phone That Will Break Your Heart
Before you decide to buy yourself that gorgeous, killer of an iPhone, you might wanna prepare to have your heart broken. If you lose it or it gets stolen, you will…
1- Not be able to get a new one for the same price. You will have to pay twice as much.
2- Lose your precious collection of songs, videos, photos, applications and basically, half of your life.
3- Have to make do with an average phone until your contract expires and you can buy the iPhone again for that cheap price.
4- Not be able to track it, block it etc. The person who stole it will be going on their merry way, using your iPhone while you wirthe in pain.
Last but not least, nothing, and I mean nothing, can prepare you for the actual heartbreak of losing your phone. Not after all those times you lovingly installed those great applications that made your life easier. Now when you’re out and need to find a restaurant, you’ll be reduced like common people to call someone who’s pathetic enough to be sitting in front of a computer on a Saturday night and google restaurants for you; provided of course, that you know someone as pathetic as that, which in itself is something you should reflect about.
Also, like common people, you will have to wait to get home before you can check what movies are on. Or what reviews they have. Worse of all, no more reading ebooks and back to lugging around real books and trying to keep that tiny book light steady lest it crashes to the floor with your book and you no longer know where you were reading… no iPhone application to save that last page for you or provide background light. Sigh.
In other words, your life as you knew it with iPhone, will be over. Every time you reach out for it and it’s no longer there, your heart will break all over again. I kid you not. So friends, think before you decide to lose your heart to it. Think. Think hard.

I bought an iphone for R recently and he updated the software and it ended up getting locked (it’s not launched here yet) and he was being SO remorseful about it. like a life line had been cut off!!!
i was considering buying one for myself, but i hear it doesn’t have a video facility and no bluetooth…quite pointless no?

I’m glad I can’t afford one. Haha.
What’s this crap about not being able to track it or block it? Sue Apple!

Er.. did you guys miss the irony? I had my iPhone stolen yesterday! I, people! Commesirate with me!!
Meow.. it doesn’t have video and I missed it but it had a whole lot of other stuff no other phone had… I promise you, it’s not like other phones… you fall in love with it…. I want NO other phone now.. everything else just seems.. mediocre. (And it DOES have bluetooth.)
Specs.. it turns out that Apple or At & T don’t give a rat’s ass when someone loses thier phone.. when I went and told them, they barely batted an eyelash and I could almost detect that evil glint in their eyes that said “ah.. now she’ll have to spend more money and buy a new one!!” haha
But I was reading online that for every one person who wants to sue Apple for not being able to track their phone, another hundered will wanna sue them for being able to tracking it, citing privacy issues etc. So.. sigh. I’m screwed.

Sorry for your loss but it was just phone. Imagine if you got stolen with phone ?

Ex-R.. if I got stolen with the phone.. I’d still be better off than being stolen WITHOUT the phone.. you know what I mean? So no.. what you just said doesn’t help at all
