I agree with peachness, I think GreenHex needs to seek help to control his lack of self control.
I think the possibilites the phone gives you are awesome. When I was a kid and saw Star Trek for the first time, I was amazed how Capt. Kirk can whip out his communicator and be in touch with everyone. Ever since then I always wanted something with me that keeps me connected and knows all the answers. A few years later they invented this thing called the Home Computer, and I got myself a Commodore 64. Wow, how smart that thing must be with it's 64k of ram and 0.97 Mhz clock speed. Besides playing games with it, I was fascinated by this program I found in a german computer magazine called "VIC". It basically was a "intelligent" program with which you could have a conversation with. Of course, it only knew a few phrases and threw them at you when you typed in a keyword that would trigger it. Years later I would find this chat thing again, on a PC hooked up to this thing called the internet running this program called AIM. Prior to that, in my quest to have lots of knowledge on me at all times, I bought one of those Franklin portable Encyclopedias. It was limited, non updateable, had no pictures, but yet I loved it! Needless to say, the internet blew me away while growing up...all this knowledge....most of it for free!
And finally, I buy my first smart phone, my current Sprint Touch, and I am discovering all the possiblities all over again.
The Pre to me is just all I ever wanted in a daily companion that will tell me where to go, and lets me talk to anyone I want. I say bring on the Apps! Show me more of what I can do with this thing.
Long story, I know, but it puts in perspective how far we have come in a relatively short amount of time. I remember my friend in Germany wanting a Watchman, so he could watch TV wherever he was...well, we got Sprint TV and YouTube now!
Anyhow...be smart about what Apps you will buy, and you'll be alright. Browse through them, think three times about if you really need it or not, then buy it. It's common sense, it's as easy as that.
Home alone on a friday night...brings out the nostalgia....
