LOL It gets worse - we bought *2*. :)

But I justify it by saying, because of my show, I need to be "better
informed" than my audience.....No? OK..how about this?

Macworld.com paid me to write an article:

Ahead of the iPhone launch (we had access to an iPhone before the official
launch) and to go to the 5th Ave Apple Store to shoot video:

So the two iPhones cost less than they normally would have. :)

Even with the various (mostly minor) issues, I'm using it even more than I
expected and enjoying it a lot.

Yup - 6 of us bought iPhones at the same time. 5 of them had their phones
activated within 30 mins. It took *26+* hrs for mine to be activated. :(
