Because we care about you
Decide CW staffer’s economic fate!
To commemorate Apple and AT&T’s release of the iPhone, we here at CW are giving you the opportunity to decide the financial future of one our staff members:me. That’s right. You help decide whether or not my wallet takes the plunge and get an iPhone. For real. No, I’m not kidding.
If America (and our non-American readers; konichi-wa! or whatever) votes that I get one, you, dear reader, will get up-to-date coverage as to how this new piece of marvelous technology works. Or as in the case of most first generation Apple tech, doesn’t work. But who cares? It’s not your hard-earned money.
Interested? Do your democratic duty and vote.

iPhones are cool, but they are still a luxury and are we really at that stage in our life where we should give a shit about that stuff?

Chester, I would at least wait for the 2nd or 3rd generation of the iPhone. Remember how bugged the first iPods were.
That and they cost a gabillontrillon dollars.

Hey, I agree on all points. I’ll live with or without an iPhone.
I’m kind of hoping I can write it off as a CultureWarrior business expense, though. Right?

the iPhone is obscene, and is designed for pricks. if anyone really believes they need that much convenience or, i don’t know, stuff, at their immediate disposal, they must have a massive superiority complex. i don’t think the phone is for you, chester.

So far, this website has brought in $4.17. Do the math.

I always say that if you don’t need it, you don’t need it.
Ps - I voted “No” twice just to make my point, hope that didn’t compromise the integrity of your super-scientific poll.

Chester, as an old wise friend, I honestly dont know what the fuck to do. I am in the same dilemma, I didnt want to wait for the iphone so i bought a palm pilot phone in may and now that the date of release is upon us, i want it, but i also know how messed up they could very well be. I would love to live vicariously through you first, but hey dont waste the money, just wait a bit and see how they end by you living vicariously living through others purchases, and then report back to me…..shit my husband is going to kill me if i buy one more phone this year, that will be my 3rd.

Just FYI guys:
1) I’ve had the same Nokia phone for 4 years.
2) I’m with AT&T.
3) I have $100 credit for not renewing my contract.
I’m not saying that I’m getting it, but I’m not breaking the bank for this
