So I went to the T-Com store this morning...

Me: "Uh... I'm thinking about buying an iPhone!"
T-Com guy: "Well... they're out of stock."
Me: "So, any idea when they could become available again?"
T-Com guy, shaking head emphatically "God, no. It could be a looooong time." Then, leaning closer: "We might never get them at all!"
Me: "Hm, riiight... I'll come back in a few weeks, then?"
T-Com guy: "Please don't. Why do you want one, anyway?"
Me: "Well, it's got good web connectivity, at a flat rate fee, and GPS!"
T-Com guy: "It sucks! The GPS doesn't even work!"
Me: "It... doesn't?"
T-Com guy: "No it sucks! Everybody thinks iPhones are so cool..."
Me: "Well, but I'd like one!"
T-Com guy: "What exactly do you need GPS for, anyway? I'll give you a 2G for the same price! It's way better!"
Me: "Dude, that's, like, my iPod Touch with crappy voice capability."
T-Com guy, hypnotically: "You don't need the 3G, the 2G is. even. better. The new one sucks."
Me: "Well thanks, I think I'll stay with my old carrier and buy a nice Nokia, then."
T-Com guy, beaming joyfully: "That idea sounds great, too."
