My son needed a new phone and so we walked into the AT&T store to get him a new RAZR. My wife tells me to go over and play with the iPhones and she'll call me when she's done with the paperwork.

30 minutes later she walks over and hands me a bag sealed tight. An iPhone.

I'm like "But I wanted to wait 'till the next hardware rev!" and she's saying "It's OK - you can give that one to me and get another when it comes out".

I love her even more than the iPhone, which is saying something 'cause this is one sweet phone!

So, I wondered if I should post this or not ('cause I didn't want to start a bragging thread), but in the end, you all helped me learn about the phone so I kinda figured you should hear about it.

Thanks for the help, folks!

A nice story.

Now there's a lady who 'knows' what she wants, and isn't shy about being decisive in getting it.

I bet she hooked *you* in just the same way.

So he's not at least bit jealous?

Wow, I'm impressed!

I don't know. It seems to me they should be kind of bored.

Or pissed that Dad got an iPhone.

Heh, he went from a PoS Nokia that was so messed up that no one could hear him when he called (and he was paying $65 a month) to owning a brand new RAZR and a Motorola bluetooth headset that's on my account (so there is a family discount and he only pays $39 a month now).

He's happy

Kinda similar but different, I wanted to buy my wife an iPhone along with mine (guess I'm really glad now I didn't ), but she wouldn't let me. She said once a new model comes out I could buy the new one and give her my current one.

Of course, now that I've done some custom ringtones she really likes (not songs either, stay away all you musical custom ringtone haters) and realizes she can't do that on her phone ... well let's say I hope a new iPhone model comes out soon.

I've also realized that having Godzilla's fight roar as a ringtone turns heads when it sounds off.
