I did it, I bought it.... I'll have the new iphone this week.
I'm using a combination of excuses, what one would you like to hear? I got a few lined up.
You alright?

I'm going out
Shortly Gonz, what excuses have you come up with?
In other news, I'm absolutely dandy thanks. Off out for dinner with a mate, and hopefully out again tomorrow. So life is pretty busy.

Oh, loads and loads of justifications.
- £400 for the phone, I'll get £150 for my old one, I'll get £300 when I go to sale when the iPhone 5 comes out, so that's £50 profit over the lifespan.
- Getting a new job at way higher wages.
- Being depressed over losing the best job I've ever had with some top people.
- Dead Dad's Jewish Annerversary* in a few days.
- Haven't been out with mates for ages and ages.
- Phone being a nightmare to use during this time when I really need a good comunications tool.
- eBay wouldn't accept the payment the first 3 times and I thought my card was broken but it turns out it was declined because its an unusal purchase and by that stage I wanted to know if it would work.
- I really really want one.
- My old phone, the HTC Titan, is great for watching video, it's better for watching video, but my Playstation Vita is even better still and I use that now instead, so the prime function of the phone that I got it for is no longer needed.
- Galaxy S3 & HTC One X got anounced/come out so there was a slight price-drop to two weeks ago.
- I cleaned up my flat and its looking imaculate.
- Bank holiday weekend and I have no socials on.
- I'm taking less painkillers than the maximum I'm allowed for the last couple of weeks and I've done it all without the wobbly-bob pills too.
- It's a sunday.
* They use a different calendar.

Don't lie, Gonz.
It's because you really wanted to buy that iphone case I showed you, and you can't use it with an HTC.

Oh cool !
I think googling "Iphone case" might get a handful of results.

I agree.
All iPhone cases are shit, they make the phone look rubbish. I've dropped mine on the pavement about a dozen times and it's still looking brand new. I'm also fully insured so I couldn't give a flying fuck what happens to it.

Yes Gonz.
Fuck knows how I lived without mine before, the only people that don't like them are people that care too much about technology (fanboys etc) and people who can't afford them. EVERYONE would swap their phone for an iPhone if someone came upto them and offered them one for free instead of their current one. Except for about maybe half a dozen other phones.
I speak only in fact.

I am typing this using two unpacked boxes as a table.

Although my broadband won't be transferred until the 22nd for some reason
there's a BT FON wifi hotspot somewhere and since I'm a BT broadband customer I can use it. Dunno about downloading large files though.

seems to be working for me (so far)
talks a lot about how many minutes I've used. I suspect therefore it is limited.
