I, too, am suffering from electronic ennui...a first world problem

So here we are: I am bored with my iPhone. I find myself surfing sites with Android smartphones, even Windows Mobile units, and wondering what it would be like... This strange turn of events is an outgrowth of my recent holiday dalliance with Ubuntu - I am in a hacking frame of mind. No fun doing that with an iPhone.

To help you understand what I am currently feeling about my iPhone - and just how insignificant and ridiculous such a state of mind is - I have found this blog post from almost exactly one year ago that PERFECTLY sums the matter up. Speaking quite literally, I couldn't have expressed it better. Check it out here. Thanks to the author.

Thanks so much for the link and the mention! I wrote that post in a fit of frustration. Over the next few months I watched as my phone died by slow degrees - more crashes, fewer updates, dropped calls, a battery that grew greedier with each day. Finally the wi-fi died, and that was it. By rights I should have moved on to an Android phone. But no, now I have an iPhone 4S, and for the moment I'm a bit infatuated with its shape and its weight - no, its density. I give it another year or so before I'm back where I ended up with the 3G.
