I am sorry I think this is lame, and shows an example of how much our society values materialistic things. The graduation should be about the students and not a cell phone that will loose its value in three years.
If it isn't Chief O'Brian, I don't care...
After all HE saved DS9 a number of times, and he loves technology...
Yeah, I forgot to turn off the nerd feature as I was writing this post... Sorry guys...
HAHAHA
Ok, here's where I am lost. If a thread does not excite someone, if someone does not have much to say, if the info in said thread is boring to them then why bother posting
I don't post in iPhone threads because they are not interesting enough to warrant a post from me. I personally just read and move on.
I am not trying to be a poo-pooer on other people's posts. It's just something that confuses me.

The ignorance that you and the others like you have presented in this thread is astounding.
What's so different about your elitist remark about not wanting to be a Texan, than being black or Jewish? I'm sure you'd find the latter two offensive in some way....
There are, God forbid, intelligent and hardworking men and women down in Texas (GASP!)... don't criticize them by furthering a foolish stereotype.

While I might have overreacted, I'm going to leave my post here hoping it resonates with others.

Sitting in jail.
TUAW reports that (perhaps) the first "civilian" iPhone may have been given to West Texas A&M's president, Dr J. Patrick O'Brien.
According to the first hand report, AT&T's CEO Stan Sigman presented the iPhone to Dr O'Brien at a commencement speech at the university:
A spotty video was posted of the event.
That's near where I live. Pretty cool story. Even if it is dated.
If they don't work on Verizon, for many they are "white elephants" - not "admired and desperately wanted".
The best phone in the world on a crappy (as in "AT&T") network is a crappy phone.
