Just read on http://jkontherun.blogs.com/jkontherun/2007/07/it-was-the-cons.html that Kevin Tofel just bought an iPhone. For the longest time Kevin tried and tried to stay away from the iPhone, but he was eventually seduced by the commercials. Even though the commercials didn’t do anything for me, seeing the iPhone in person did. However, 12 days later I returned it.
Matt Miller bought the iPhone on June 29th, when it was released. However, 14 days later he returned it. He wrote an article called Apple seems to have forgotten the phone in the iPhone and that was that.
But today, he was seduced again by the dark…er…Apple side and once again now owns a iPhone. He ended up paying $60 more for it, since he had to pay a restocking fee on the first he returned.
I loved the iPhone, however, to me it wasn’t really clicking, and I felt it was too expensive. Both Kevin and Matt, are heavy Windows Mobile users, so it will be interesting to see who still has the iPhone in 14 days(The end of the return period).
Right now, I think Kevin will return it, with the reason of his UMPC + Windows Dash does everything the iPhone does and more. However, I think Matt will keep the iPhone this time around, rather then return it.
We will see…
its a funny story! Those two are mad hatters
They aren’t good examples of consumers though. Geeks, bloggers and reporters need to have an iphone anyway. Even if they don’t need one.
Same with me. I don’t want an iphone but i’ll get one when they come to Europe as I need to be able to keep up with the latest on them and to be able to talk about them with authority when the need arises.
Cheers
Steve.
Steve, you never fail to amazing me. I think you will own every kind of UMPC out there. Even if it just resembles a UMPC, like the iPhone.
But that’s why you have own of the best UMPCs sites around.
