7 Reasons Why This Apple Fanboy Won’t Be In Line For The iPhone On Friday
Posted on 12:32 pm by Paul ColliganYes, there is someone out there who won’t be in line for the iPhone on Friday. Here are my top seven reasons why:
- AT&T’s Data Network. No matter how you slice it - lame.
- $600 For A Phone Plus Two Year Commitment to AT&T. Even if they did upgrade their network a) the iPhone can’t handle it and b) you’d be locked into their lousy data network plan for two years.
- Price. For $28 more, I could buy a shuffle, a new iPod and an Apple TV.
- Everybody Else. Can you imagine the fire sales all the other guys are going to have when that start believing the hype? They’ll be giving phones away for free soon.
- v1. This bad boy will have problems. v1s always do. I can only imagine hearing those words “we’ll get your repaired iPhone out to you in 4 to 6 weeks.
- Do I Really Want To Be Online 24×7? After the 4 Hour Workweek, I’ve actually be pondering my first non-Internet connected cell phone in like 7 years.
- Ratatouille Opens On Friday Too!. Shorter line, better snacks, my kids can come and Steve Jobs still makes money off of me.
It’s gonna be a wacky week.

As much as I like iPhone and as interesting as it looks…I will have to side with you on this one. I agree. Maybe sometime in the future I will get one, but not now. V1.0’s always need to be fixed. Possibly V2.0?
