the international phone purchase crisis: update
For those of you who cared (apparently, a fair few of you did -- thank you to everyone for their advice), I wanted to let you know that, while I was on the road to making the same decision myself, Steve Jobs went ahead and pulled the trigger for me this afternoon. I had played with Beep's iPhone a ton and had grown to love it, and Wendy and I went to visit the AT&T store yesterday and were completely charmed by the friendliness and (so novel!) helpfulness of the staff. I watched the announcement of all the new features in real time (thanks MacRumors, I thought I had hit the geek glass ceiling), and then the last nail in the coffin landed: $199 for the 8GB iPhone. I have between now and July 11 to get out of my contract with Sprint. I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am.
