I’m green, very green. Not in the environmental sense, but in the jealous and envious sense. As a Mac Addict and Techno-Nerd I must have everything Mac as soon as it comes out. The iPhone hype has me in a quandary. I wanted it to be released BUT I wasn’t going to get one. Why? My contract is with Verizon Wireless and I do not want to switch to ATT. Oh, and $500 for a phone is crazy. At the present time, there is no deal for a lower price with a 2 year contract, which you have to commit to if you want the iPhone. I have been reading the forums all week and when the complaints about extremely low audio and battery life issues were rampant, I was plagued with wicked thoughts…BUT…I STILL WANTED ONE!

The word is that Apple has an exclusive deal with ATT until 2012, which is way too long to suffer from techno-envy. I’ve heard that the deal is only with this version of iPhone, if another model is released, it would not apply. I don’t know if that is true or wishful thinking. Anyway, I’m committed to wait until ATT and Apple get the kinks out of the iPhone.

With that said, I couldn’t help myself and checked out an iPhone up close and personal at the Apple Store in Roosevelt Field. OK, I know I shouldn’t have, but I just had to touch and feel one for myself. That $500 price tag is the only thing that kept me from whipping out the Am Ex card and taking one home. Sigh…
