The Lost iPhone: Phase 3
Wednesday 23rd March, 2011 - 5:25pm with 3 comments
It seems that people are still mildly convincing me to buy the most expensive phone that ever existed, while my mind is actually bouncing with glee because of the fact that I will most likely be getting the same phone as James.
Which is infinitely better than having the same phone I had before, which is the predecessor of some curvy-shaped, pathetic round-volume-button-bearing glass-and-what-I-think-is-stainless-steel brick. And better than having the curvy-shaped, pathetic round-volume-button-bearing glass-and-what-I-think-is-stainless-steel brick itself.
My dad pointed out that my phone, brand new, almost exactly the same model and type that I did own (only it is not my own, obviously), was available, as advertised in the newspaper by a seller, was “only four hundred dollars”.
Less than half the cost of the phone that I had purchased over a year ago.
“…nah.”
My thoughts go to my classmate Vicky, who owns a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, and constantly receives the question, “Why don’t you have an iPhone?”
Her passionate hatred for this question inspired her to complete her research project based on this very question and her contemplation as to why Apple was highly regarded as the best shit out there. Having heard James’s complete dissing of Steve Jobs and his nonexistent third hand (let us not think about what that could be used for), the thing is that Apple knows it is undeniably cool, and that’s all it needs, no matter how shit their stuff really is. James has concluded that people will keep buying Apple products simply to be elite, hip, funky and wear a sweater with shorts in the winter and not even make physical sense.
Put two and two together, and I realise that as sick as I am of hearing “Why don’t you have Facebook?”; personally, I could have fun with the same question Vicky has received for the past six months.

@Lissy, I can’t think of anyone who is directly affected by the fact that I don’t have a Facebook account. I know many people who don’t have one and I don’t see it affecting others in a negative way, so there’s no harm in it. I don’t want one and I certainly don’t even need one.

@Georgie,
I’m directly affected. Everyday I think how empty my facebook friends list is without you there! No, j/k, that would be creepy as hell, lol.
I only know one person in RL that doesn’t have an account. Even my great uncle has one. I guess it’s a bit different here.
