Apple iPhone.
Earlier this afternoon, I practically hovered around my mom for 10+ minutes, begging her to take me to the nearest Apple Store so I could get my hands on the new Apple iPhone. I was ecstatic when she finally folded under my machinations, which is the reason why it took so long for me to get dressed. I needed at least 10 more minutes to hop around my room in joy.
About 30+ minutes later, we finally found the store and stared in awe at the droves of people that were still gathered around the testing table for the phone. We decided to walk in and browse around at the other merchandise, despite the fact that both my mom and I were not true Mac fans. As soon as one of the iPhones became available, we headed back to the table and played with it for a couple of minutes--my time was limited because my mom had brought it to my attention that it would be more courteous to let other people see the phone as well.
The phone, simply put, was awesome. Although I had mentally psyched myself up to be slightly disappointed, the device, surprisingly so, had much to deliver. I had tons of fun going on the web with it because navigation was impeccably smooth along with the magnification and swift finger-scrolling features. I especially enjoyed turning the phone sideways to see the websites in widescreen mode.
My niece seemed to enjoy the iPod half of the phone due to the great audio quality. My mom and I, however, were enamored with the text-messenger due to the QWERTY touch-keys. It didn't take long before my mom told me that she was beginning to picture herself with the phone as well. And this is being quoted from a woman who initially said that the phone appeared to "busy" and too flooded with features.
I don't know if my getting the phone is a definite possibility. Right now, I'm trying to salvage money in order to buy Xena a new 12-month dosage of heart-worm medicine. That's about $60 plus tax. This price can also be coupled with Xena's vet bills and her grooming care, which, as of current, has yet to be estimated.
Animals first and luxuries last. After all, there's always Christmas, right? *looks hopeful*
