How’s this for kicks?
It looks like the iPhone just went through a price drop (ALREADY), and Jobs is being kind in reimbursing HALF of the overpay price (The old price was $200 higher, remember) in the form of a gift certificate.
I’m still in the “WHY would I buy a six hundred dollar phone?” camp here, even though the phone is now only four hundred dollars, but I’m finding this whole thing to be truly funny.
I’m just waiting for the free suppository add-on to come with the iPhone (as well as the phone being usable on a carrier that isn’t AT&T) before I consider buying it, but I’d still be leery of buying it. It’d provide me with no features worth my time.

My cellphone does more than I need it to already, and it’s the most basic model that T-mobile offered. The iPhone is more of a status symbol than it is a useful device.

Yeah. The iPhone is mostly an ego masturbatory device than anything else.
As for phones and features, I actually need a phone that does a lot — I want something that can run programs to do things I want to do on it. Good web browsing is a must. Doubling as a modem? That’s essential.
The Nintendo DS, while we’re on touch screen devices, comes close, but hunting down wi-fi hotspots sucks. I’d like to see Skype on the DS at some point, though. THAT would be nice, given that the DS also has a microphone kit to go with it.
