paid for it out of my pocket and paid for the plan. A girl I know got one as a gift for fixing another high-school-aged guy up with a girl she knows. What sucks is she has the $60/month plan to pay and she has to hide it from her parents because they'd "make her give it back." THAT would suck.

I don't care about all the criticism toward young people getting iPhones because unlike many kids, i bought my iPhone and pay for my service all by myself. I've been on my own since the end of my junior year in HS. Feel i've done a pretty damn good job at managing my money so i decided to treat myself.

thats me although only first semester but teachers should let us listen to our ipods since it makes us not talk and the fact that we can get our work done since music is usually my motiviator and spelling is my downfall ha
