I've got an iPhone!
...are exactly the words I'd be blogging now if I'd recently thrown all concerns relating to my bank balance and/or marital harmony to the wind and gone with my primitive caveman hind-brain which has been screaming "me want shiny thing, be envy of Sabretooth tribe, furnish cave with many fine antelope skins bought on eBay whilst on train journeys" for some time now.
But no, the little voice in my head* was right. I don't need one, really. I took the sensible option and invested in an Nokia N95. It's fantastic, especially for free**!
Currently being amazed by the excellent camera (featuring a lens hand-rolled on the thigh of Carl Zeiss himself), and the extraordinary ease in which you can slap pictures onto Flickr... it's a one-click job!
I decided not to port my old number to this phone, which means letting all my contacts know the new number. Normally of course this would just mean a blanket text message from your new phone to everyone you know, being sure of course to not make the rookie mistake of forgetting to put who's actually sent the message. But one has to be careful when one has two sets of friends who don't necessarily know one by the same name, lest one receives numerous replies along the lines of "Er... Becky who?".
*I call her Jane. You might have read her blog.
**I'm choosing to ignore the other little voice in my head that keeps reminding me that an 18-month phone contract doesn't actually count as "free", but that voice is easier to tune out as it's not backed up with threats of physical violence.

iPhone: 2mp camera, 2G
N95: 5mp camera, 3G.
The iPhone is more of a one-up-man-ship thing.
Shame as it was a thing of beauty and specwise is much better than the iphone...
I got it last week too (spooky!) and I agree its fab!
An iPhone? With a 2MB camera? Obviously Apple didn't think to target the lucrative trannie market! A touch of expensive Tatt for Trannies perhaps?
Only problem I've got now is remembering that it takes photos. Went through all of Saturday without a single photo. Wups.
