Every now and then I get a strange desire to buy something. I will search the web for that something and usually decided that I don’t really need it – or I get a headache from the searching.
Well as you can tell from the title I’ve been thinking of getting an iphone. The only reason I can come up with for wanting one is that they’re cool!
I could technically afford it, well just about, but the question I keep coming back to is what can it do that a cheaper (and much cheaper) model cannot?
There is a more important question though… What do I need? When your looking at phones, or any technology, you are bombarded with all this information. It doesn’t necessarily matter if the phone has all these marvellous features if all you want to do is call and text. For that you could just get one of the old Nokia 3310s – the were cool once and you still occasionally see one. I think it would be harder to find an iphone 1.
I want a new phone partly for Twitter. Sometimes something witty will occur when I’m out and about. By the time I get home the moment has passed or I’ve forgotten what I wanted to write.
I have found a phone that would do what I want. It’s quite old but still seems good but doesn’t have to cool factor. So maybe I’ll continue looking. As we all know with technology the longer you wait the better tech you can get.
