iIgnore iPhone

Apple is finally releasing its iPhone today. Over the last few months, there seems to have been constant buzz about it in the media. Fortunately, we have'’t given in to the hype. For us, a cell phone is just a device for phone calls and we don’t care about all the other supposedly cool features such as web surfing, checking emails etc, that are built into the product. Many of these features we already have in our existing device but we never even use them.

I remember when Motorala had first come out with its Razr phone, there was a similar hype about it, although not to the same extent as with Apple’s iPhone. Now it seems nobody cares about Razr phones as its “cool factor” seems to have faded. Am sure, its just a matter of time, before the hype about iPhone is replaced with some other product. So for me, there are better uses for money rather than paying $500+ just to purchase a handset and then getting locked in to a two-year service contract and paying high monthly fee with AT&T.
