Give Me an OUNCE of REASON!

So I've got IPhone Fever and I've got it bad. I've had the same phone for two years now-a motorola 551-and I've been pining for a swanky phone for at least 4 years, but my good senses had reminded me how fast those items become obsolete, and how wasteful it is to spend money on such things, especially in light of the fact that I'm currently sacrificing my HOME and living in a freakin' DORM ROOM so that I can hasten the point of being debt-free. But my oh-my how I want one. I read alot about them today and though I know the technology will improve, I also know myself. There is no way in hell I would pay $500 for a phone, much less the initial pricetag of $600. Now that they're a leetle bit cheeper, I wonder if I would fare better by purchasing the first version and just upgrading, as I'm hoping Steve Jobs will allow for all those who shelled out the big bucks during the first go'round. OR, I may find myself one of the unlucky tech-mongers who ends up spending way too much money on the 3G phone, which is coming dear Lord, it just HAS TO!

Pant, pant, pant!
