I know I am a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad person...

But I just got a new iPhone 4S and I love it.

I'm typing this on it right now. Or rather, speaking to it and it is typing for me.

Yes I have went over to the dark side. But they have apps! Is there anything I can do to soothe my conscience?

The poor abused workers who made this phone just may get their revenge. The deleted post was a double posting -- my first embarrassing mistake caused by the iPhone.

I'm sure there will be many more to come.

There is such an abundant supply of cheap labor to be found at the low, low price of our humanity. So I am guessing you are not alone.

... who I've considered switching to quite a few times, doesn't carry the iPhone, nor can you switch your plan to have the phone run on it -- even though I'm with Sprint currently and that's the network they run on.

I don't know if it's because they usually sell recycled phones (great for the enviornment!) or if they are boycotting them because of Foxconn.

And a phone to be here with all of you. My email function has quit. I need to go and have it looked at. I have a laptop but no internet connection.

I wasn't sure how well it would work -- a few of my other forums have mobile apps specifically that work with their interface and make it a *touch* cleaner -- but it's really easy to use. Except that I wish the Safari browser would let me scroll on the side to get back up to the top or to the very bottom of some of the LONG threads...
