Well, I told Lauren (slightly jokingly) when the iPhone came out that was what I wanted for Christmas. I've never been much of a gadget guy primarily because of finances. It was always tough to justify purchasing some gadget that most likely would not be used to its fullest potential. Before the iPhone, I had wanted to get a Treo 760 or something similar but really wasn't convinced I would use it. The interfaces always seemed clunky along with expensive data plans made it merely something to think about. The iPhone was different in that the interface seemed actually usable, which made the data plan more reasonable. A few friends that had owned iPhones also gave it glowing reviews, so it seemed like a great gadget to get a hold of if possible.

Of course, I had no real plans on how to get a hold of one for my very own. Lauren threw me for a loop by getting me one for Christmas and couldn't have been more surprised. She is very good at surprises and managed to hide the gift under the tree next to some friends gifts so they wouldn't be tampered with. Inside the box were some of my own socks aimed at continuing the ruse. When I finally got to the actual iPhone box it was quite a stun.

Seeing as I just activated it today, I'm far from any formal reviews. Overall though, I really like it. I am looking forward to taking Lauren shopping as I can finally catch up on reading articles or watch a few YouTube videos while I wait awkwardly to offer an uninformed opinion on what dress is better looking. Seeing as my wife has great taste and I always like the way she looks, it is rare to see something I don't think looks good.
