Why the iPhone Sucks

Dear Diary,
Since it launched about a month ago, the iPhone (3G) has incessantly made my life terribly uncomfortable. I'm not a big tech nerd; I just leave that stuff up to Mic. No, I have played with one before, and I still think that if I'm going to spend money on a device like that, I'm going to just purchase an iPod Touch. Here are some reasons why:
  • I can already text on my current phone.
  • No AT&T contract holding me down.
  • The camera sucks.
  • No picture messaging or video messaging for when I take pictures and video of my dogs.
  • No AT&T contract holding me down.
  • Battery can't be removed.
  • No AT&T contract holding me down.
  • Plastic instead of the original metal.
Now I assert that I don't own any new Apple products, but given the opportunity, I think I would buy a new touch iPod just because it's just so cute! You have to admit, Diary, that it'd be fun to taunt people with one. People on Facebook would be super jealous. But I'd have to be careful not to become one of those fanboys of all Apple products! I think its religion with those guys! "Hi, I'm a Mac." "And I'm a PC." Hi, I don't care! There's a guy who is some sort of disciple of Apple that's living near Mic this year, and I'm just not sure about him. He actually thinks Charlie the Unicorn is funny! He's like those callers at the hotline. What silly people!
To me, the iPhone is toast, as pictured here:
Anyways, Diary, I digress. I can't change the world, but I can change how I see it, or at least change the small bit of the world around me as I go, that sounds better.
