i phone apps will be the main reason why I would buy an iPhone…if ever I can afford one. Imagine everything (almost) within your hand…so reachable!
It was in 1999, if I remember right, when I had my first mobile phone or cell phone (as it is more commonly called here in the Philippines). It took us months to canvas the internet to find the best within our budget. We got a Nokia 5210. We got it for its durability (shock proof, in case it drops) and size (small, can fit the pocket with ease), in addition to the capability to send text messages, of course.
A few years later, I bought another one from a second hand store. I forgot the model but I was using it continually even when it fell and broke and I’d just put them together, screwing the housing and all its little pieces! I even had a rubber band to hold the housing! 
In 2007, February, was the first time I really shopped for a phone. I got an ASUS V80. This time I had the camera as a necessity because I was also in real estate, selling online from time to time. I needed the camera to take pictures of the houses so I can show my prospects who were abroad. Up until this time I have that phone, now almost dying. I used to be able to check emails but now, for whatever reason, I cannot. I was satisfied before when I can still check emails because that’s what mattered most in my online connection. Now all I can check is Facebook! It still matters but not as much as my email especially when I’m someplace else!
Now, if I would buy another phone, I’d like it to be an iPhone, simply because everything is within reach. Almost.
I say almost because if one has no money to buy load then the iPhone is useless for connecting.
