But Lee, after making this rash statement about my life line, I do need you to tell me WHY you do not want an iPhone. There needs to be a deeper reason than just being contrary like little Mary?
I have several reasons:(1) We drive up to visit my mother several times per year in the upper peninsula of Michigan. Once you get north of Green Bay, the AT&T coverage becomes pretty spotty. The Verizon coverage up there is actually pretty good, where we go.
(2) I have an iTouch, so I've had plenty of practice typing on the iPhone keyboard. I hate it! When I send emails off the iTouch, they're rarely more than a couple of words because editing is such a pain. My fingers aren't the right size for the device and there's no cut and paste while editing to speed things up.
(3) We have a 4-phone contract. AT&T seems to cost more. (4) A data plan with no tethering is just plain cruel. (5) I drop and lose phones, so I tend to get more disposable models.
