Everyone wants one, not everyone can have one. And when you whip it out everyone goes Oooooh and Aaaaaaah at it's splendor, so you feel somewhat smug about it the whole thing. So what's the problem with having a big .... ? It’s like complaining about having a large phallic. Everyone wants one, not everyone can have one.

I believe BlackBerry/CrackBerry users were the first to hold that distinction. They're the ones who live and die by push email, constantly checking what text messages they've received. Why do people need to do this? Because they enjoy being part of some sort of connected community. Maybe it stops them from feeling like they're alone. It's just an offshoot of using a pager. You can say that anyone besides a doctor or police officer who needs a pager is just a smug, wannabe bigshot. I don't know why you are just targeting iPhone users when BlackBerry users would be more likely the leaders in the world of arrogance. Why call only iPhone users insufferable geeks.

You know how it is. I’m reading this on my iPhone :)
