When I was young, car dealers would cover their windows and put new models on giant turntables as the September debut of the new models was a source of amazement and excitement...Now all cars look the same and you can see them on the Internet anyway...
These days the collective gasp of excitement seems to revolve around the introduction of a cell phone model....The MSM gets all worked up over the latest I-something and how many Apps it has.
With my Voyager phone increasingly cranky and the touch screen balking more often, I have to consider a new phone....Should it be the latest and greatest that Verizon offers. ?..or something already in circulation...
I have been to the Verizon store a couple of times in recent months...Its not the cost that bothers me..its the complexity...As soon as the clerk tells me there are 15,000 apps, the Luddite in me surfaces and I race for the door.
Now people like my friends Scott Gray or Tom Constanzo always have to have the latest gadget....And I like to think I am smart enough to figure things out, I just don't know if I want to.
I was in a funeral home in Carthage yesterday, standing in line talking about the stuff you talk about with strangers and three teens were on the couch playing a video game on their phone, oblivious to the feigned and authentic mourning around them.
You see, I don't need to be able to do that, so I am not sure if this "iPhone5" is for me.
An iPhone 5? A Verizon iPhone? Leaked photos and video fuel rumors about Apple's next gadget

You could not get an i-phone before because Verizon is the best provider and they did not offer it unless it was a hacked version.
Now that verizon offers one, it is what you should do. You don't need 15k applications but you can use a few of them and you will love them.
Eventually, if not already, the droid will overtake it because of the open software. Everyone is writing software for it for free and it works on every other phone instead of just apples phone.
but that is down the road a year or three. For now you cannot go wrong with the I-phone and it is going to be very similar to the replacement you get in three years as far as operation goes so you will not have to relearn much down the road.
Everyone knows that Apple makes the most intuitive software...only because the competitors or so bad...so break down and do it!
ps...let us know how you like it because I am thinking about getting one.
PC Magazine did an Android VS iPhone4 shootout a couple months ago with each having few advantages over the other but with many "draws".
Now that I'm 50, there's no denying that the smaller iPhone4 with it's higher resolution "retina" display has it squarely in my pocket.
My 3rd BlackBerry Pearl will now be going bye-bye.
Methinks your post went right over Cape Dream's head.
Hmm, Hiz Honor needs to replace hiz Verizon smart phone.
