Begging for a Next Generation iPhone
It’s come to this. I’ve resisted getting the revolutionary Apple iPhone for this long and have paid a price of disbelief from others. “What? You don’t have an iPhone?” I don’t recall how many times I’ve heard that remark as more and more people jump on the iPhone bandwagon and have to rub it in.
For instance, in a recent email reply, Coco Bean signs the email with “Sent from my iPhone.” Did I mention on other occasions that she’ll whip out her iPhone in front of me “just to check her mail or her calendar.” How convenient. Did you also know she has two iPhones?
Then there’s Nejmay who keeps showing me pictures taken with and stored on her iPhone. She also keeps cleaning the face of the phone whenever I’m around, just to taunt me I think. And then she too goes and gets a second iPhone cause you never know when you need to take a picture of Shawn Kemp slam dunking Apple gear.
No, I haven’t forgotten the times I coulda used an iPhone to snap pictures of stars toodling around Oahu. Remember, I saw Guy Hagi, Kim Gennaula, and Andy Bumatai at the Kahala Mall Apple Store. There was the time I saw LOST’s Jorge Garcia at Safeway but didn’t have a camera-equipped iPhone handy.
Most recently, Kim from Cali was simply astounded that I didn’t have an iPhone since her boo was armed with one. She then gloats about gal pal Miss Marathon getting an iPhone for Christmas. See here.
Cali Kim then said she’d make a donation so I can get an iPhone, and here we are. I created a Chipin account to raise funds to buy an iPhone, and I’m now begging asking for donations. And I’m hoping for the next generation iPhone. The smaller one. The faster 3G one. The colorful one.
So if you’re feeling generous and want to contribute then please do! If or when this works out, I’ll be sure to do a review of the next generation iPhone.

Hey, don’t hate.
The “Sent from my iPhone” signature is the default and I just didn’t change it.
I could’ve really been nasty and put “Just for you Gee Why, this e-mail was sent from my iPhone that you don’t have.”
But I didn’t.
And I don’t “whip” it out to check my e-mail. I use it for it’s beautiful world clock that can simultaneously show me the times of multiple locations, including Japan.
Okay, I’m sorry I have to check my calendar. Sometimes I just can’t remember when my next dental appointment is. Hygiene is very important you know.
Isn’t two better than one? You can easily sign up for the family plan that hasn’t resulted in any more of MSO’s overages.
Since you’ve become so desperate that you have to rag on us, I’ll go visit your Chipin page at the first opportunity I get. Geez.
I was supposed to do a review of my iPhone (with actual input from MSO) but I think by the time I do, Gee Why will be bragging about his next generation iPhone. Begger.

Like TLC, I ain’t too proud to beg.
And where is that iPhone review with input from MSO. Sounds good!

Ah crud. I am guilty of my own pet peeve. “it’s” vs. “its”!!!
Been feeling a little uninspired to write since I lost my FF championship game (made all the way from second to last place) amongst other things. Will try and get back to it…
But first I wanna just say this was sent from my iPhone that you don’t have (yet). 😉

Hey, don’t be “J” (Jealous).
You are always there at the right time when I’m showing people my pictures taken with and stored on my iPhone.
And I keep cleaning the face of my iPhone because it’s a habit but if you think I’m doing it to taunt you then okay.
I have to agree with coco bean when she says that two is better than one. The family plan is GREAT.
I forsee you getting one soon because the BEGGING.
Well, at least you can come to visit me downstairs when you feel like looking at an iPhone. And if I’m not at my desk, my neighbor DY has one you can look at. Oh yeah, and if DY is not at his desk then walk over to our RM DI and she will be more than happy to show you her BRAND NEW iPhone she got from her husband for Christmas!! I tell you, the iPhone `Ohana keeps GROWING.

I will be the first to pony up some moolah since I think you should have an iPhone, Mr. Mac Lover. 🙂
I will send you a check for $20 buckeroos since I’m not a PayPal kinda gal.
