Personal iPhone Thoughts

I thought I would touch a bit more on my most recent post about the prospects and logic behind a CDMA version of the iPhone.

If the improbable happened and a version of the iPhone 4 became available on the Sprint network I think I would be tempted to buy it.  Now before you all go and call me an Apple Fan Boy let me point out that I have been a fan of Apple products going back to my first computer back in 1984 which was an Apple IIc.  I am still a fan of Apple products.  The ones that I would use I like and this includes the iMac that I'm using to write this post, my iPad that I use daily around the house, and other products such as the iPod.  And this does not mean I would give up on Android.

See, I'm eligible for a phone upgrade from Sprint come February (just four months away) and being able to snag up an iPhone for new customer pricing would make sense to me.  I could then have a second phone handy which would then free up my Evo for the testing of custom ROM images.  In fact, I like having more than one phone handy for those "just in case" moments.  At one point I had a Blackberry 8330, the HTC Touch Diamond, and Palm Pre at the same time.  I sold the first two eventually (I wanted rid of that damn Blackberry so bad I sold it so dirt cheap it wasn't even funny!).  If Cole from work reads this he'll probably start drooling thinking about buying my Evo from me the second I buy a second phone.

I'd been toying with the idea of picking me up another Android phone for a couple of weeks ago just for the above stated reason of being able to play with some custom ROMs anyway.  Now I'm thinking I may hold off on a second phone until my February upgrade.

So, just why would I consider an iPhone now of all times.?

First off, being an iMac and iPad owner I'm closely tied to the Apple eco system.  Right now there are a bunch of downloaded TV shows purchased via iTunes in HD as well as a few HD movies I either purchased on limited sale or that I just plain wanted versions of in HD (I admit to being a picture quality snob).  As for my music purchases I still prefer the Amazon MP3 music store over the iTunes music store.  I honestly prefer my music in MP3 format over the AC format that iTunes pushes and for the past three or so years DRM protection via both stores is a moot point.  Having an iPhone would give me some more options in my Apple only content.

The second reason for an iPhone 4 is a simply one aesthetics.  I really like the way the iPhone 4 looks and for me in some instances looks do matter.

This may all be a moot point anyway until we know if Apple will expand beyond AT&T and possibly Verizon with their iPhone.  I'm not prepared to leave the nice rate plan I have with Sprint any time soon.
