So I’m between the iPhone and the new Palm Pre. Although Sprint annoyed me, because, even though I’ve been a loyal Sprint customer for 9 years, I have to wait until August 1st to get the Pre at the discount price. 
When I said to Sprint Customer service, so basically, any idiot can walk into the sprint store now and get the discounted price but I have to wait until August 1st, he said, no ma’am, any idiot who isn’t a Sprint customer.
*snorts*
Anyway, Zoo and I went to buy a new mattress and a bed on Sunday – we end up in Sleepy’s trying out all the beds (which, to be honest, always grosses me out because, you know how many other people were also lying on those beds trying them out?)
This connects to the first part of the blog really. 
See, the sales guy had an iPhone. So I got to try it out and look at it. And the other sales guy had a Palm Pre, and I got to try it out. I told them they should sell phones and mattresses, because they were each so knowledgable about the different phones.
Of course, I’m still not sure which one I want. They’re both pretty cool. But I adore my new mattress – it’s so comfortable.
I’ve done lots of writing the past few weeks – my editor liked Cam’s book (yay!) and the revisions are very do-able. Along with the revision, I’m working up a proposal for the connected book and I’m also revising a Sydney book. And still, I’ve managed to get in lots of reading over the past few weeks too. I finally read the first Sookie Stackhouse, Dead Until Dark, because I want to start watching the True Blood series. And although I’m not a huge first person fan, I really liked the book. I bought the next books but I’m thinking about not reading them all at once, because I tend to glom and then OD on a series.
I’d go with the iPhone (if I had a need for a cell phone) but that’s mostly just because I’m a major Apple convert. *g*
Almost everything I write is in first person…..
I have to laugh at your phone debate, Steph, because I had the same one just a few months ago. It was Linda Howard that got me on the iPhone kick. I love new technology, and she let me play with hers for quite awhile.
I had been with sprint for almost ten years, and though they kept telling me they were coming out with the technology, I really wanted an iPhone. I adore my iPhone. Its one of the best purchases I’ve made.
Hubby, however, is still with Sprint.
iPhone iPhone all the way!!!!! I bought mine in Jan. and I haven’t looked back. I just talked my mother into buying one. She needed to use mine for the day and was so impressed with how easy and functional it was to use. Plus all the free applications or the cheap ones. You can’t go wrong.
I have the Iphone and I love it. I love all the apps I can use on there – not just the games that my son keeps trying to download – but useful stuff, like a diet tracker, a measurement converter, etc…
Plus, all my songs from my old Ipod are on there too. And I love having access to my e-mail/internet.
Good luck with whatever you chose/ended up with!

Tori, you know I would read yours!
Donna, I would’ve been incoherent / drooling upon meeting Linda Howard, so I applaud the fact that you were actually upright and able to focus on her phone! OMG – you TOUCHED something of Linda Howard’s! Excellent. I touched Suzanne Brockmann 2 years ago at RWA…not inappropriately or anything, but still…
*waves to Dominique* I’m seeing a major iPhone trend here…
Ah, Valerie, another iPhone vote.
Now, if I can handle the impatience and wait until OCTOBER when I’m out of my Sprint contract…
