The "REAL" reason to get an iPhone

Snipped from CNN

a 24-year-old grad student, spent the night outside an AT&T store in
Atlanta, keeping his cheer up with bags of Doritos, three games of
Scrabble and two packs of cigarettes. Asked why he was waiting in line,
he responded simply "Chicks dig the iPhone."

I was surrounded by them as they were waiting to get a new 3G iPhone.
All were converting from Verizon.

Poor Verizon took a hit today ;>)

And by the look of things Apple stock did also. :)

BFD. The point I was getting at was he was tooting watch the stock climb
when the 2.0 iPhone is released.

Well it's out and the stock is down.

yep, Verizon is seen as a complete joke by investors, or "people in the
know" like me.

this spells it out quite clearly.

Verizon just can't compete against smarter companies like Apple.

well, that has very little to do with the iPhone 2.0... it's about 40%
due to Steve's 2nd health scare, 30% oil prices, 20% the housing
collapse and 10% general bearishness.

apple continues to outperform the markets so look at a chart comparing
apple and the S&P 500, DOW and Nasdaq and you'll see the iPhone 2.0 has
been very well received.

YOU.... "in the know" - The last sentence above proves the exact opposite.
It is so utterly stupid, not further elaboration is needed.

Yeah. You said the prices will go up when the iPhone 2.0 sells. Your a
flake.
Thanks for playing.
