I was planning on sticking with my Nokia E62. It calls people, it stores my address book, it can ssh. What more could you want from a phone? I thought having a pretty decent phone would make me immune from the iPhone madness. And it did - unfortunately only for approximately 8 hours of my husband having one and showing it off all day. By 8pm on Saturday, my patience and self-control were gone and I got one, too.

So far it's pretty awesome. The beautiful thing is that there is only one button. I call it the panic button - you press it when you don't know what to do!

Here are some downsides:
- no ssh (I have never been able to get away from pine for e-mail, so not being able to ssh into the machine with my mail is kind of sucky.)
- the camera should take videos as well
- not able to turn off the text auto-correct. While automatic typo fixing might be great in 95% of the case, it doesn't work so well when you're typing in a language that's not English. Words such as "z" and "w" are real words in Polish and they really shouldn't be auto-corrected into "a" all the time
- no visible file system - how files (e.g. photos) are stored is kind of auto-magical. It'd be nice to see more.

The upsides definitely outweigh the downsides, though. It's as easy to use as everyone claims. Plus, there's no doubt that most of the issues I have with this phone will be fixed in upcoming software and firmware updates. Hooray!

Yay, gadgets!
