Selling out

“I’m so disappointed Alan..”, my friend told me upon seeing that my iPhone. Yes, I’m a sell-out. I tried not to buy this thing. Yes I do. I did look for some nice Android phones, but the Galaxy S was not released yet. There were some Android phones but they are on the expensive side. I felt the usual rush when I had this phone for a week. I could twitter and surf on the go. The interface was good and intuitive. Topnotch in terms of usability.

After two months of using it, the euphoria subsided. Everywhere you see people using an iPhone. I feel like a drone. I feel like I’m ordinary. I have no individuality. Apple gadgets are really beautiful but the way some of the fanboys exult it makes me puke. Sure its beautiful, but don’t make it sound like it can solve world peace.

Am I still happy with the phone? Yes. It does what I want. Its very capable and usability is on the high side. My only problem is that its not so me.
