I was having a great day. I got all my chores done, playing my video games, talking to my woman, and then I get this message from Drew saying that the Iphone is coming to Canada.

Great.

Not only did my heart sink, but I knew the impending doom that’s about to happen.

Don’t get me wrong, I like the concept of the Iphone, and I know that it will “revolutionize” the cellular industry as we know it. It’s too bad the client base it’s aimed incorrectly.

I don’t like the Iphone for two reasons; A) It can’t do basic functions correctly (STILL no MMS, no Copy and Paste); B) Apple fanboys won’t shut the hell up about it.

When this blasphemous device came out in the states, the first things I heard were, “When’s the Iphone coming to Canada?”

That really destroyed the whole notion and the whole hype. I cannot stand how Apple fanboys will go to any lengths to prove that the Iphone is the be-all and end-all to all phones, but yet you still can’t send a picture to a friend of yours over the air without incurring redonkulous data charges.

Yes, the Iphone will make Rogers drop their data prices. Yes, Rogers is the first ones to carry it. Yes, we are getting the second generation Iphone. Yes, the phone consistently uses data. Yes, the Roger’s “Iphone Data Plan” will cost you an arm and a leg. Yes, replacing the screen on your Iphone will cost more then the phone itself. Yes, there are security issues with the device if you ever to plan on using this phone for business. Yes I’m about to blow my brains out.

I’m not the only one that thinks this way: please, check out my friend Maddox in his posts here and here.

Why do you think the Iphone flopped in Europe? One letter and two numbers: N95. Europeans have had touch screens, 3G, wifi, all this crap for a long, long time, and honestly, this is old news.

Don’t mind me folks, maybe I’m just a bitter flunkie that thinks this is just hype… or maybe I’m just one of the few that thinks that everyone should shut the f**k up, enjoy the idea and move on with their lives.
