I caved.

And got an iPhone. Now, most of you are probably wondering what the big deal is, but if you knew me, you'd know what the big deal is. I've said, for as long as I can remember, that I would never ever under ANY circumstance get an iPhone. Why? Because I CAN. NOT. STAND. the touch screen. Absolutely hate it. Texting drives me crazy. Emailing makes me want to throw the phone at a wall. My friends have all had iPhones. My husband has an iPhone. Believe me, I've TRIED "getting used to it" because isn't that what everybody says? "Trust me, you'll get used to it!" I had a Droid for about a month and gave it a chance (because it's so similar to the iPhone, with the touch screen and all), but I just couldn't do it. But everything else about the phone? I loooooove. Love the apps. Love having music. Love the cool, up-to-date features.

But you see, all those feelings were before. Before I decided to give it a shot. Before I caved.

How did I cave? might you ask. I honestly don't think I really have an answer for that one. I had a Blackberry forrrreverrrrrr, and I really loved it. I loved how easy it was to type. But there were definitely other things I didn't go for, too. The apps were not up to par. The phone would freeze more often than not. And it just wasn't as "with the times" as the iPhone was. Tough competition. So, my Blackberry had been acting up, and I decided enough was enough. I NEEDED a new phone. At that point, I didn't really have it in my mind that I would get an iPhone. But when I got to the store and saw the pretty little iPhone glowing on its own little shelf, I couldn't help but say to myself, I think it's time to try this bad boy out.

And honestly? I hate to admit that I'm pretty pleased so far. It's different than the Droid I had, and I don't know if it's just a mental thing (probs), but typing really isn't as bad as I've always thought. It is weird, though, because I've tried countless times on my friends' or hubby's phones to type and send messages, and I could barely ever make it through one without wanting to scream. Maybe it's different because it's my phone now. That's what I tell myself, anyway. This phone called to me, and now we have a mutual understanding- it'll text and get done what needs to be done if I have a little patience. And it's working for us.

Telling my friends and hubs about it was a different story. I've spent years teasing everyone close to me and INSISTING backwards and forwards that no one would ever see me with an iPhone. So you can imagine the jokes I was in for when I texted people and/or showed them my new toy. Served me right, though. Never say never. ;)

One of the nicer parts of a convo w/ a friend :)
