But let me say this, I do want an iPhone. I like tabbed browsing, and I think the slow network is a great idea because it means an 8 hour battery life. And if Steve Jobs wants to play Santa I would like to request some very simple improvements. I'm not looking for 3g, I want 'Select Mode' so I can forward myself listings and put them in google maps etc., URL forwarding so I can share things, camera zoom (did they actually forget this?), and if possible Ramble IM (Ramble's not a deal breaker but it's a very nice to have) . Yes, these are all features available on bb's, so I'm confessing to both working and enjoying having a bb.
Of course, I'm biased towards using made for mobile pages instead of big web-pages, because even with lightning speed (when you can find wifi) and multitouch, which enables what I call 'Web Repelling' (see below) I'm not ready to drop the cash because I'm still giving up lots of functionality found on the Pearl. I do love to pinch and spread with my fingers as much as the next man but
it's just a waste of time really.

Web Repelling is lots of fun once or twice (see!) but once you have a few smiling pictures of yourself doing this you can get on with yourself.
Lobby or start a company with Ad Supported wifi for NYC! I am considering writing Bloomberg or helping startups for an ad supported model for free wifi in NYC if that is faster than lobbying for muni-fi. The new Jajah application for international calls would be nice if I could use it out of the house, and if we had blanket wifi maybe my iPhone-having friends would venture out of their hotspots. That would be nice, because that's what mobile phones were designed to let them do.
