Not Sensible, but, oh, the Joy of It!

From The Guardian

I have been using an Apple iPhone now for more than four months This is due to an unhealthy mixture of friendship with its designer a slobbery and pathetic love of the new, the possession of a American billing address (necessary until today for the activation an use of the device) and a willingness to pay preposterous internationa roaming charges. It puts me in a good position however, to tell yo what you're in for if you decide to own one of these honeys

I should first get out of the way all the matters that will please those of you wrinkling your noses in a contemptuous Ian Hisloppy sort of way at the sheer hype, pretension, nonsense and hoopla attendant on what is, after all, only a phone. There is much to support your case.

In the end the iPhone is like some glorious early-60s sports car. Not as practical, reliable, economical, sensible or roomy as a family saloon but oh, the joy.
