Awww.... I'm a SAHW and my hubby just upgraded me to a Blackberry. Most of my friends don't live near here so it helps me stay in touch with them without having to park my ass all day on the couch in front of the laptop.
I'm in LOVE with BBMessenger now too!

However, I went from an EnV to the Curve and I HATE the small buttons. Imma have to replace my 'delete' key soon, I hit it so often. Gah!

I'm thinkin' of going over to play with the Storm and see if I like that better, but I like having real keys to push, so I dunno. I'm so confused

I can check the time on my expensive luxury watch much more discreetly than you can check the time on your billboard-sized iPhone.

Image, 'slice, admit it.

So they accuse iPhone owners of having the image problem. Basic reverse psychology.

Typical "they're just jealous they don't have one" mentality. You didn't state that, but your comments parallel that thinking.

The iPhone is really great for people who don't know anything about phones. It's easy to use and with all those commercials, I can actually figure it out.

(I don't have one though, I have the iPod Touch)

Consider this: If non-iPhone owners really don't care about attention, why do they care that iPhone owners are getting it?

wut?

WHY DIDN"T YOU SAY SOMETHING!!! I would have hooked you up with a cheatsheet a long time ago.

Here is section I.

Step one: Place phone in hand
Step two: dial number
Step three: hit send
Step four: Quickly move hand with phone in it to ear, keypad first.

Next time sweetie...don't sit there in silence.

Reach out for help!

I don't think most non-iPhone people care about them "getting attention", I think they are just annoyed with the iPhone owners' "look at me" and "i'm one of the cool kids" behavior. /SHRUG

I guess it goes against the grain, but I know 5 iPhone owners and none of them act this way.

Most of them are jazzed to show me the cute apps they have on the phone and I admit, they're fun to play! I have Verizon so no fun games for me to play. But it's all good.

Maybe I'm just not a very approachable guy, but I've never had a stranger come up to me and say "Check out what my cool iPhone can do"

My guess is, you guys look at how the media portrays iPhone owners, as being trendy metrosexuals etc. etc., and you assume that to be reality.
