I posted this on another thread....but I think it fits here as well.

I guess I'm confused by this thread.
If you want an iphone, you need to do what is necessary to get an iphone It's that simple.
Are there hurdles like price, the monthly bill, coverage areas...sure, but hurdles exist with everything. Jump the hurdles or dont. It's really a persoanl choice.
If you dont want an iphone. Dont get one. Again...it's that simple.
No one will judge you for not having an iphone. We will never know you dont have one unless you tell us. No one needs to know the reason you dont want, need or have an iphone. It's a personal choice and if it's the right choice for you....hurray.
The Dis has made a business decision to offer an iphone app that we think is pretty killer.
If you think this is something useful or fun to you....buy it. It's that simple.
If you dont think it's for you.....or you dont have an iphone for whatever reason. Dont buy it. Again it's that simple
John and I live in a modest house. We have found a house that we love. It's completely out of our price range. For us to buy this house, we would need to sell everything we own and eat ramen noodles for eternity. We would not be able to afford gas to go to the store.
The community in which the house is located has a monthly owner's association meeting.
Do you think I would get a positive reaction if I went to each and every meeting and spoke about feeling left out because other people lived in the community and I didnt? Or discussed all of the reasons why I thought living in that community was a bad idea? Or attended the meetings and explained why I chose not to move to that community?
It's a phone for goodness sake. It's not life support.
