Goodbye iPhone?

Damn you Apple! Damn you and your trendy, new ideas that work really good. I can't stand you and your superior products. I have been angry with you for a while now. My iPhone started crapping out on me. It seems like ever since the new one came out, mine stinks. I don't like my hand being forced, Apple. I like to make my own decisions, when I'm ready. But nooooo, not with the constant updates that go to all models of your increasingly affordable iPhone. The new software doesn't work good on my 3G, so I guess I have to upgrade to the iPhone 4. Not so fast Stevie Jobs. Is it ok if I call you Stevie? I feel like I know you because every other season, I watch you break news in your regular jeans, long sleeve mock-neck and your modest, practical sneakers. You dance around in front of your bazillion inch TV showing off new ideas and revolutionary leaps in hand-held technology. If you weren't so busy setting the standard every couple months, maybe you would notice that just because people stand in line for 3 days to buy a device from you, doesn't mean you have to make only one software for all of them. There.....I said it. I feel better.

Confession time, I left and went to Blackberry. It seemed logical. You're both fruit. The new Torch is incredible. If I hadn't tried the iPhone first, this would be the best phone ever made. Its fast and aesthetically pleasing. The touch screen is perfect but lacks the magical fluid technology that you guys obviously pay aliens for. The battery lasts more than 6 hours and the messaging is top notch. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to me, you guys (apple) tapped into my actual psyche and designed a phone from your exact findings. It's custom fit to my hand and the navigation is so sensible, it's like I just think and it goes. But you drop too many calls Apple. A lot of them. In the same spots too. Everyday. You're not reliable when I really need you. Like when I'm trying to tell my wife to DVR Alf on TV Land or explain to my friend that Revenge of the Nerds did indeed come out in 1984, I get cut short. Kaput. That's it. Then I have to press a button to call them back. Ahhh. C'mon man! There's no way its At&t. Impossible. Their slogan was “fewest dropped calls”

So I'm in a new relationship now, Apple and it's not quite the same. Its not the same at all. The only thing that's consistent is the dropped calls. I kind of miss you. I have 28 more days to decide if I'm committing to Blackberry for the next 2 years. Can I come back if it doesn't work out?
