Waiting is painful
By now, even headhunters in the highlands of New Guinea are aware that the Jesus Phone from Apple will be released on the 29th of this month. But I will have to wait a little longer to get my hands on my own personal iPhone. My current two year contract does not expire until July 17th, and I must wait until it does before starting a new one. Damn, damn, damn. Mrs. Buckethead is highly dubious of my intentions to get a new phone, especially since it costs half a grand. I have a perfectly good Motorola Razr, she says, and she's right. But the Razr doesn't have that touchscreen magic. It doesn't have the preternaturally slick interface that can only come from Apple. It doesn't have WiFi. I want an iPhone so bad I can taste it.

If, as reported, the jPhone runs a full browser - there's no reason you wouldn't be able to blog from the phone.

Yes, true, but I could take my Jesus Phone out on the deck and blog from there, whilst overlooking my domain.

Wha...? On your deck? In the open? Where the aerial imagers and orbiters can *see* you?
Even if it has bafflers to mask your electronic presence-which, for the price, it rightly ought- I'm sure it's not high-speed enough to make you invisible.
I think this phone is compromising your physical security- and you don't even have it yet!
