I have always wanted an iPhone. I have always had a simple phone. I just couldn't justify the cost versus how often I would use the data plan. I kept bugging Verizon about offering a plan without data, but they always said maybe one day. I had to go in a few weeks ago to straighten out a bill and I mentioned, AGAIN, how I wish I didn't have to have a data plan with an iPhone. The representative said, "Well, technically, because of how the new plans work, you are already being charged $15 for 250mb of data." "So, I can finally get an iPhone for a decent price?" I asked. 15 minutes later, I was walking out with one! So why did I really want one? For taking pictures and video. I love my big camera, but it's not all that convenient for the quick photo opportunities. I've researched how to use it effectively, apps that work well with it and I am starting to get the hang of it and am starting to take some great photos. I asked Colin to close his eyes so I could get a close up of his eyelashes. (Ladies, are you as jealous as I am?) I am amazed at the amount of detail it captured!
