Having an iPhone gets annoying...

[Apple]

The iPhone 4 has just done it for me now. I have always had the iPhone, 2g, 3g, 3gs, and now the 4 but what has got increasingly annoying is the reputation the iPhone has. I love the iPhone, it is probably my favourite piece of technology - ever.

The problem is that I can't just get it out anywhere without either A) People saying "wow nice an iPhone can I have a look", B) Getting called a showoff, C) It is a very delicate phone and I want to keep it looking nice so a lot of things I get up to put it at risk of damage and C) When I am out on friday/saturday there are always loads of different groups of people that you wouldn't trust with a pound so it just feels so dodgy when making calls or texting people and you start to notice people looking at you.

Here is my old Sony Ericsson W950i. It was a great phone in it's day and I still love it. I am now going to be using this whenever I know I might be hanging around with the wrong sort or doing stuff where anything in my pocket could fall out or get crushed.

Erm? Isn't this thread pretty much telling people you have an iPhone 4?

This. Anyone know how old the OP is? Those arguments seem pretty lame.

Gotta say OP, this does seem like a bit of a show off thread, so here's my phone, I love it, as soon as I got it everyone wanted to touch it.

I think this is a show off thread trying to be covered as a rant so people know you have an iphone.

Yes reading this thread would probably give you the idea that I have an iPhone... Your post pretty much shows how much people fuss over the iPhone. You'd probably be put into the category of people calling me a showoff for using it in public lol.

Excuse me? Why are you questioning my age? What position are you in to call my reasons lame, if you don't have one then you wouldn't understand.

I would rather have my Motorola Milestone than an iPhone 4.

I didn't experience these issues, I am therefore accusing you of lying unless you live in a very poor area of England. Nobody cares about iPhones in the UK any more. And if you have an iPhone 4 even after knowing about all of these problems and then complain about it you have some issues that need resolving. (Hint: Stop talking about your iPhone and stop caring about it and all of your problems ~*magically go away*~)

I wouldn't go that far sadly.

Younger people seem to think an iPhone is the best invention ever - far better than the wheel.
