    Internet gadgetry!
    so, I have a mega busy schedule, and I got an iphone to try and up my efficiency, but I'm pretty certain it has done the exact opposite as I now spend my day twiddling over the Internet and lacking productive results. Am I the only one with this affliction, or do others share my dilema?

    No, I fell victim to the iPhone as well.

    I love the apps. I don't think any phone can even compare at this point. I know Verizon is trying, but i don't think it's pretty.

    I have the ipod touch, and it is so wonderful. Having a laptop is nice but a hastle to carry around. Now I just have one in my pocket basically.
    I wouldn't say I spend too much time on the internet though.

    Eh, I work in a command center... I'm always sitting in front of a computer at work so I'm on there.

    As for a phone... I just twiddle away with my normal lil phone calling phone..

    Though some of those aps on the iphone look amazing.

    I haven't owned a crackberry yet, but I've been wanting one for a while... Got an email today that the storm will be available 11/21, and I will be one of the first in line to buy it...

    I'm the type guy that waits till they've been out a year or more. The first ones tend to have glitches/bugs what have you.

    I was just thinking this.. I too have an addiction... But its only to BP.net and youtube! Lol.. In fact the only reason I go to youtube is to find music to listen too while I'm on BP.net. I have a touch and to anyone who hasn't touched one yet YOU ARE MISSING OUT. BlackBerrys are nice but nothing compares to APPLE. Nothing. I have an iMac as well and I just ADORE it. I know Apple is exspensive but you guys really need to give them a chance. I remember when I used to have a PC... It was HORRIBLE. All the lagging and waiting, pop-ups and spyware.. The only reason PC's are more popular is because they are cheaper. Anyone who has a Mac is not dissapointed. People are always telling me " Macs are hard to use PC's are better cause they are more user friendly" WHICH might I add is like saying that Ball pythons like to bite and are EVIL. Its just a down right untrue. I'm sure if you took 5 min to figure out a Mac you would NEVER go back to PC. Apple is the future. I was also told by an idiot that PC's are better cause the government of the US uses PC's... WHATEVER!!!! Macs are better cause there are less hackers that know how to mess with macs. In the end I will forever be a HARDCORE SONY and APPLE fan. Sorry for my rant I just love Apple soooooooo much. :oops:

    PC stands for "personal computer" not for the operating system Windows. :giggle:
    I agree, anything is better than windows. I personally use linux though. Free and wonderful. Apple does have some great products out though. :3

    Bumping this thread with a little story...

    The Verizon store in the mall across the street from my office opened at 8am today for the launch. I got there at 7:45 and they were handing out numbers at the door. I was #18 in line. After standing and waiting for an hour, someone from Verizon came out and announced that they ran out of the Storms, and that we could still wait in line and they will order them to be shipped to us. Needless to say, there were several frustrated customers behind me. None of us could understand why they would give out more numbers than they had phones. Anyway, we were told we could check back later and they may have more come in.

    So, I grumbled all morning, then decided to go back and check on my lunch, and they had received 6 more in! So, the rep goes in back and brings out the phone, takes my old one and transfers my numbers into the new phone. Then, as my luck would have it, when they started the activation, the whole activation server crashed! I have been waiting so long for this phone, and when it was right there, within my grasp, BAM! DENIED!!!

    Anyway, I told the rep I had to go back to work, but that I could come by after work and pick up on the activation. She said they're not allowed to hold the phones, but grabbed her supervisor. I guess she sympathized with me because she said that since my numbers have been transferred, the phone is mine... Now they're just holding it until the system comes back up. I'm going after work to pick it up!!! I'll post a review of it in the next couple days to give you guys my initial opinions...

    I picked up a Samsung Delve not too long ago when they first came out. It's my first full internet phone. It's no iPhone or Blackberry, but it's not bad. I wish U.S. Cellular had 3g network because mine is really slow. :(

    No response in your poll fits me as I don't have a crackberry. My pc in my home office is addictive enough. Having a wireless macbook doesnt help my addiction either.

    Same as ohyeahnow, no response fits me as I spend too much time on the internet, but at home.
