One reason I don't sell phones yet
at the store I work at is because I've made my feelings about Apple's products known all too clearly. Locking users into proprietary software formats/hardware peripherals/online stores is bad enough, but from what I've heard (we don't have a demo of the new phone) the new iPhone uses a completely new proprietary port that means all those people who've spent a couple of hundred bucks on extras for their older models are SOL if they wanna use any of it with the new one.
Way to go Apple.

Yep millions of accessories
Yep millions of accessories are now worthless and a**le will sell you an adapter for your old charger. I like Android for mobile devices but I do buy Mac computers.

The advantage of a fruit phone is:
If you don't like it, you can blend it into a smoothy.
Bahahahahahahaha.
Can I do that to all of them in our inventory.

I hadn't heard about the
I hadn't heard about the alteration of the standard connector they'd used since the introduction of the iPod. I don't know what they're thinking, other than it's a "We don't have Steve Jobs around." move. (They did similar things after they fired him, years ago)
There will be lots of people to buy it anyway. They'd buy Steve Jobs' underwear if it was offered - even with skid marks.
I've been recommending that anyone _wanting_ the new one wait at least three months after introduction, due to the issues from previous versions.
I'll get a life when it's proven and substantiated to be better than what I'm currently experiencing.
iPhones...
Why? Honestly... Just... Why?
I'm quite happy with my KIN ONEm.

this is one
person that has no use at all for a smart phone, much less one like that. This is one friend that will NOT be in line to waste money, causing problems and fights for you. Try to have a better day!
Thank you Stacy. If people
Thank you Stacy. If people want em that's fine just don't be ass when you can't get it on the first day. That's my issue.

I have a tracphone.
It makes and receives phone calls. That's why I bought it. It does take pictures, I guess. It also, allegedly can surf the internet and do other things... I don't use any of that stuff.
I have a digital camera. It takes pictures. It doesn't make phone calls or surf the internet or play games. I have a desktop computer... I have a laptop computer. THEM I use for internet stuff.
Oh, I don't have an ipod either. If I want music in my car I use cds or tapes, or, in desperate times, the radio the car came equipped with.
So often I am reminded of the statement that "Scotty" made in Star Trek 2 (3?) (4?) where he said: "The more you overtech the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain."
I try to live my life by the KISS principle and I keep things as simple as possible. I guess I'm just a tech dinosaur... oh, I do have a little extra money each month that I use for important things, like food, rent, car insurance. You know... those little things that make life worth living? I don't waste it on gadgets that do everything but fix breakfast and make my bed. HEY! There ya go tech manufacturers! You can incorporate those things into your next money wasters!

I found out that one of my customers had pre-ordered the iPhone 5, and was upset that it hadn't shown up today - mostly because one of his acquaintences had apparently already received his. Apparently he doesn't believe that it can take different amounts of time to reach different places.

The world we live in these days...
Has truly gone insane... The degree to which people seem to feel ENTITLED to things without having to do anything for it... It's ridiculous.
When I say things about how I think we really should have a true free trade society, no money, just an exchange of what one person has in excess for what that person has a need of but another has an excess of... I don't mean everyone should have everything right when they want it, how they want it, I mean that equal effort should get equal reward. Our current system rewards only those who wantonly take advantage of those who won't. It ain't fair, at all. In fact it's the opposite of fair. We're rewarding the least effort with the greatest "wealth". This is in my opinion, absolute insanity. It's a system built to fail.

Why
I actually don't own or want to own a cellphone of any type. So I can't see the reason people go nuts over these things to begin with.
Don't get me wrong I like alot of gadgets and stuff but having people try to call you all the time is annoying as hell.
I don't even have an answering machine because of that. My phone rings and rings with no pickup means I'm not home or I'm asleep phone again later.
Gods I remember the days of party lines with the dial phone. Answering machines were this big thing with a cassette tape that didn't work all the time.
A mobile phone (pre cell phone actually) was this big hunk of electronics that mounted under the car seat (it was too big for any other place) and the handset was mounted in the middle. Signal reception was ...terrible at alot of places. Then came cell phones. Cantel (the original name ted rogers used) had better coverage but the new phones came with shoulder bags. Later came these better smaller phones that had these heavy long batteries. they lasted about 4 hours verses the 30 minute slim battery.
Then came the digital phones which was neat as the static went away but the phones were kinda weird.
Then mp3 was added to phones to listen too.
then texting was added.
then palm phones were out with small apps you could play.
Now we have these small computers for cell phones. They really are computers with a cell phone option now.
And whats next? Implanted communication devices. Don't laugh its in the works with "Biotronic" and yes you will talk to your thumb.
It's my job.
Wow Tels you just summarized the history of mobile devices for the last twenty two years. Bravo!
I have nothing against smart devices heck I've said before I do most of my Big Closeting on my mobile its much more private and I don't have to share it with anyone. Its the attitude I hate gimme now or I'll throw a fit. I once had a man in his thirties turn to his pre-teen daughter and say this is how you get things done then he threw a screaming fit bitching to other customers telling us employees he would have our jobs and on and on until my manager caved and he got what he wanted. What kind of person does that.

Screamer Day
Have a friend up in Toronto that works at a Rogers store, by 9:30 this morning she was well into the throes of mental meltdown via her FB account. Last I heard from her was shortly before noon, nothing since. I hope she's alright!
Yes, I have a smartphone, an HTC with Android. My next upgrade will be to a phone with a larger screen, getting old ya know. But it won't be an Apple!
