I have an iphone
And I like it, it's useful. What makes me wanna fucking break the thing is it's way of turning people into bloody mini-adverts.
"where did I put my iPhone?"
"let me put your number into my iPhone"
"did I just hear my iPhone ringing?"
ARGH! Nobody says "oh, that's my nokia 8220 beeping"
It's just a phone! Call it a phone!

If that was true
