damn you steve jobs!

because i have been lusting over the white 3g iphone for months now. it would look so perfect with my ibook and ipod. *seesh* i can be such a geek sometimes.

why does apple have to create so many cool stuff that ordinary human beings would love to have, but then have to pay and arm and a leg for? it. is. so. unfair.

i have been contemplating about buying the iphone when it first came out, but then i convinced myself not to because of the following reasons:

1. it is very expensive for a phone. i mean, paying 20+k for a phone? i would understand a pricey notebook or a camera, but a phone is just so impractical. besides, i heard the built-in camera wasn't that good.

2. it is not supported locally. the original iphone did not officially come out here in the philippines, but it was still available courtesy of our trusty greenhills and our friendly neighborhood smugglers. i wasn't comfortable with that set-up and i wanted my iphone (if i do purchase one) to be legal with my service provider.

3. it's not production-friendly. since my work heavily relies on texting clients and the crew back and forth for shoots, its keyboard-less setup is quite hard for me, since it makes it close to impossible to text someone at lightning speed. which means i would always end up calling everyone, which will take my already sky-high phone bill to the roof.

so i was content and happy with my trusty nokia when apple suddenly announced the birth of the 3g iphone a few months ago--meaning it is a new and improved version of the iphone and it comes in white. it didn't help either that globe suddenly announced that they are officially distributing the 3g iphone here in the philippines late this year.

that is so not good because now i want one. i want. i want. i want one!!!
