I will be the first to admit that I am a gadget nerd and while I was able to survive the initial onslaught of the iPhone last June I am having some real trouble today. I currently have a contract with T-Mobile (family plan, son) that I have no intention of breaking and it isn’t the 3G data speeds that are sucking me in because T-Mobile won’t have 3G until October, maybe. Goddamn ass clowns. Anyway the thing that is really revving up my gadget nerd engine is everything I have been reading about the brand new and wicked awesome App Store.
So immediately this morning after reading 15 App Store posts on two different gadget blogs I begin to hatch a plan that will get me a first generation 16GB iPhone. Then I read a post that first generation iPhones are going for $600 on Ebay and Craigslist. Supposedly because it is so hard to get the 3G phone without a contract. That is some horseshit. There is a new model the goddamn price should go down. This $600 price point does nothing but torpedo evil genius scheme of acquiring a first gen phone.
Now I am going to move on to plan B which happens to be you, the readers. If you have a first gen 16GB iPhone that you are looking to unload before you make the big upgrade and you are willing to cut me a deal let me know and maybe we can transact some business.
