I’m not sure quoting from one of the biggest fantasy blockbusters of the past decade is obscure.

This geek does, appreciate, however, that you worked in references to cyberpunk and Dune in to boot.

You’ll lose whatever cred you’ve earned, however, if you don’t go get your hands on whatever approximates a tricorder in late 2009: iPhone, Droid or Nokia something-or-other.

You know you want to.

I’m currently with T-Mobile. I think T-Mobile is great. I’ve never heard of an iPhone user who had positive things to say about AT&T. So I’m not looking at the iphone as a serious option until it’s off AT&T. Right now all my hopes and dreams are bound to the Samsung Galaxy coming to T-Mobile. I don’t understand why no other mobile phone manufacturers have been able to make an iPhone killer with Android. It’s like they’re not even trying.

I’m in the same boat with Verizon. Service is fantastic, but no i-phone. Have contacted both Verizon and Apple begging to get an iphone on Verizon, no luck so far, but I continue to monitor the news. My contract is almost up and am struggling with whether to abandon Verizon for the siren song of the iphone. 2010, anyone?

[...] Five Days Without a Cell Phone and Counting (Time Magazine) I’ll tell you something though: it’s not all bad, not having a cell phone. [...]

@Samuel If you’re constantly emailing, yeah, a Blackberry might be a better fit. Otherwise, it’s a no-brainer. Especially now that you get get one for a C-note.

If we were in the DC universe, this would be called The iPhone-Theft-Very Final-We-Mean-It-This-Time-Crisis and Quittner would never have existed.

If Lev was re-imagining it BSG-style, Selman would be a woman.

If he did it Star Trek style, then Nerd World will be wiped out by an angry time traveler.

Hey, he already wiped out all the Narnia books in one universe so anything’s possible…

I think what he really had was an ipod touch. He said it was an iphone because that’s what cool people do. Just like he’s probably seen BSG a couple of times through but says that he hasn’t because that too is what cool people do.

I know Jame Bond. James Bond was a friend of mine. You, sir, are no James Bond.
