When you haven an "iPhone pocket" and an "everything else pocket" because you're scared of it getting scratched... even if it's in a case.

haha, I do this.

when you don't let your own girlfriend see it because you are scared that she doesn't know how to use it or will drop it.

My GF couldn't understand how my iPhone works so I stopped letting her use it. I was afraid she would drop it or try to use a stylus on it.

You know your addicted when you feel like you are cutting yourself out of society when you turn on Airplane Mode.
It hurts when I plug into my ihome and I turn on Airplane Mode.

When you read this thread and pine for your sold iPhone and really hope its cheap and unlocked in Australia.

 

[otep1760]

man you guys must be the saddest people i've ever seen in my life.
i can't wait to see if any of you have kids, instead of favouring it you will probably be playing iBaby on your iPhone.

iBaby, WHERE!?!

 

[earnjam]

...you're bored, so you open the contacts list just to flick it and let it slide, or have 2 pages of homescreen icons and just flick back and forth between them because you can.

When you read this thread and pine for your sold iPhone and really hope its cheap and unlocked in Australia.

BTW, that is hilarious....cheap and unlocked haha. She's in a better place...

When you don't have one, in fact you've never had one, but you still come on this forum every day to read the news, even though your existing contract doesn't end until November.

 

[Van Wildonher]

When you read so many threads and wait so long for the 3G iPhone you feel like making a sig that says you have a one idPhone in your pants.

You know your addicted to iPhone when...

1. You take out your Japan Phone just to clean the screen.
2. You choose to send text message through your Japan Phone instead of sending out an email.
3. You sleep with your phone next to you in bed.
4. You have a case for your iPhone and case that protects that outer case along with a leather holster.
4. You cant stop telling others about iPhone, especially V2.
5. You take your Japan Phone to the bathroom.

Any others ?

I do all of the above

you gotta be kidding! this happened to me too.. just a little different.

someone i knew worked for apple.. and they had the Gen 2 right in front of me.. they let me hold it but wouldnt let me turn it on!

i'm obsessed. oh well..

We really are a sad bunch on this forum. This happened to me as well, only the iPhones looked exactly like the current iPod nanos, and I had a fight with the sales associate. When he finally grabbed it from me he started telling me about this [really pointless] feature that they were putting in OSX and wanted to sneak into the new iPhone. It wasn't really a feature, don't really know what it was. But yes. Great list by the way, its 100% accurate .

When you haven an "iPhone pocket" and an "everything else pocket" because you're scared of it getting scratched... even if it's in a case.

I thought this was pretty normal...

Before someone can finish saying, "Where's the nearest In-N-Out Burger" I'm banging away on my iPhone and dropping pins before they've finished their sentence!

IN-N-OUT BURGER FTW


edit: thought this was a different thread. sorry!

 

[cmgallacher]

shower

You shower with one hand outside the curtain, holding your iPhone so you don't miss a thing

 

[pranavss11]

You go and google "iBaby" on your iPhone

Ha Ha.
I try to do the same thing with my iPod touch. Looks something like this:

Before someone can finish saying, "Where's the nearest Starbucks" I've done a desperate search for Wi-Fi in the middle of Leicester. Found nothing, put my iPod back in my pocket and skulk off after my friends who already know damn well where the nearest one is.
I need an iPhone...

 

[RoboCop001]

You pretend your iPhone is a cat, and feed it Purina Cat Chow for Weight Management, and yell at it when it starts scratching at your bike tires, especially when-... oh wait, no... no that really is a cat.. what iPhone? I don't even have one.... what the hell?

Ohhhh... that's why........ it's 6am. Better get back to work.

7. (this really happened to me) When you have a vivid dream that iPhone Gen 2 has been released and you read that news from Macrumors.com.
8. You can recognize iPhone's key tone from across the room

I don't own an iPhone, but am quite keen for the next-gen one.

I have repeated dreams about being duped into buying a 1st gen iPhone and then feeling terribly remorseful as the 3G one comes out next day or something!!

haha. absolutely..... i made ONE exception when i put my ex's brand new phone in the same pocket..... (my iphone has a silicon case though.... but still.


*when you're driving along and pat your pocket, panic because you think you lost if but then remember its on the passenger seat playing the music through your car stereo!

happens quite a bit actually

 

[Santa Rosa]

When your gf complains that you talk about the iPhone more than you do about her 0.O... Yes its happened:|

Guilty as charged, she gets really annoyed about it sometimes. Its a disease unfortunately and I am riddled. Feel sorry for her with Gen 2 coming out soon!!! I will have to get her one I think.

Also when you start to identify people without the iPhone simpily as "the others"

Guilty as charged again. I also comment on how inferior their phone is as well. Its bad I know but cant help myself. Especially people who have the LG Viewty, OMG what a blatant rip + its a horrible phone to use, as Steve would say, yuck!!!

Guilty, take iPhone to Bathroom all the time.

Guily x2. Its good to surf MR while taking a .....

When you haven an "iPhone pocket" and an "everything else pocket" because you're scared of it getting scratched... even if it's in a case.

Yep, since day 1 has been the case. Its also a handy indicator to tell you if your jeans need washed. If the iPhone goes in dirty and comes out clean you are good. If it comes out still dirty you know they need washed!!

when you don't let your own girlfriend see it because you are scared that she doesn't know how to use it or will drop it.

The dropped part!!! Girls just dont seem to get it lol. My GF keeps threatening to give my iPhone a BATH!!! Yea you read that right a BATH!! Not good lol

Hold on buddy

Good advice, Gen 2 will be upon as hopefully pretty soon!!

And my addition to the list.

I make a bed for my iPhone at night when its on the table or whatever solid surface it may be on. I make it out of a scarf so when it vibrates from a call or the alarm in the morning it doesn't damage itself from the rough vibrations on a solid surface. The GF rips it out of me for it but Im sure you guys understand. I just say her phone is rubbish and mine is amazing so needs a bed lol!!!

Might add a picture of the scarf iBed if I get a chance!!! Its a John Lewis scarf as well for extra protection!!

you start to stroke the sync charge connector at the bottom and put the top end in your mouth and roll your tongue inside the headphone jack ...... i think ive said too much

I think you are beyond problems. You need some help mate.

 

[waterskier2007]

you judge the cleanliness of surfaces not by whether you would eat off it, but whether you would set your iPhone on it

Hahahaha, that's great. I have a little plot on my desk that's free of clutter for my iPhone and its Dock. I make sure to wipe that area free of dust and whatnot nearly every day. The rest is knee-deep in clutter and other crap

As for my contribution... When your bag with your iPhone, MacBook, graphing calculator, and several delicate and none-too-cheap glass gifts for your professors falls off a desk or table, you hear the crunch of breaking glass, and your first thought is "IS THE IPHONE OKAY?!?!?"
