The Atkinson bit was genuinely funny. Although I was really thinking this could've been something you'd write an article on rather than use a video for it. But then, we wouldn't get all the spider puns.
And as a gadget geek, if I may offer some advice? Ditch the iPhone for a Palm Pre. You'll thank me later.
For the love of God, do not listen to this man!
My wife had an iPhone when we were still with AT&T and it was absolutely awesome and bug-free. She loved it and had no problems with it. We kept having problems with AT&T though, so we switched to Sprint, with my reasoning being that Sprint carries the Palm Pre and the Pre is "pretty much an iPhone." Holy shit was I ever wrong! This phone is a piece of shit!
First of all, it's buggy as all fuck.
Second, the screen is so tiny and prone to scratches it's insane (the screen is plastic instead of glass like the iPhone screen).
Third, there are barely any apps for the phone and from what I've read, developers are dumping Palm and Android-based phones in favor of iPhone because that's what people are buying so that's where the money is.
And finally, there are just a lot of weird decisions Palm made when designing the phone. For instance, you can't copy a photo from a text and save it to your phone's memory; a very limited amount of the phone's memory can be dedicated to apps unlike the iPhone which can use almost all of its memory for apps; the phone is supposed to run multiple apps and programs at once but it has the same problem as the Droid in that multiple apps slows the phone WAAAAAAY down and makes it prone to crashing; and every update Palm releases fixes one bug but creates several new ones. THEY STILL HAVEN'T ADDRESSED THE COMMON BUG THAT MAKES IT SO THAT THE PHONE TELLS YOU THAT YOU HAVE TOO MANY CARDS OPEN WHEN YOU'VE ONLY GOT ONE OPEN!!! Instead, they keep focusing on the stupid iTunes synching crap! Ugh...
Enjoy your iPhone. There's a reason why every other smart phone maker tries to compare themselves with it -- it's the best thing out there. I wish to God I had one. Maybe if Apple stopped being dongs and went with Verizon and Sprint, I could actually get one because I'll be damned if I'll go back to AT&T.
