Why iPhone 4 Is Not For Every Tom, Dick & Harry

Why iPhone 4 Is Not For Every Tom, Dick & Harry

SERIOUS/STUFF: One of our lazy correspondents who can barely get enough sleep have started contributing a series about his experiences with 'real' people in his real life.

He just happen to be with his mates Tom, Dick and Harry when some Peter came with his iPhone 4. He is upset with Blizzard's decision to ask for real names of online players thus to protest against Blizzard's decision he has refused to disclose his real name and will be known by his handle Skeptic. He earlier used to write a humor column “Serious Stuff” for LINUX For You magazine.

Peter: "Hey, I just bought an Eye-Phone."
Tom: "Great. Can I see?"
Peter: "Yes sure?"
Dick: "But why are you wearing gloves in this hot summer?"
Peter: "Well, my body contact affects the reception. You know we are dirty bag of salt and water."
Harry: "OK. But why are you standing like that?"
Peter: "Well, nobody is perfect. For long we believed that standing on two legs was a major step of evolution. But that is not true. I guess nature has some flaws, the way we stand and feel comfortable is flawed. It affects the reception of my iPhone 4."
Tom: "But it doesn't affect my Android. I can stand the way I want, I can hold it with sweaty or wet hands."
Peter: "Standards matter. There is a certain way of doing things. You can eat Chinese with fork, but using Chop-sticks is the right thing to do. Value the tradition. Do things the way they are done. Think and do differently."
Dick: "OK."
Harry: "Can I see your phone?"
Peter: "Sure"
Tom: "Why don't you use the bumper?"
Peter: "Well, I use it when I am at home. But outside I feel more comfortable showing the magical and revolutionary."
Dick: "At the cost of your own discomfort?"
Peter: "Its not discomfort, its pleasure. What are your doing?"
Harry: "I am calling up my friend."
Peter: "Well....I don't think you live in a nice neighborhood. The buildings here block the reception."
Tom: "Building? We are in the center of the city in a park. Where are the buildings?"
Peter: "They should have allowed some Cell Towers in the park you see, signals might be weak here due to city's stupid policies."
Dick: "So, I can't make a call."
Peter: "No. But if you want to, then do what I do. Take a bus and see where you get the strongest signals. Get off the bus and make your call. Easy."
Harry: "You can't make a stupid call from this thing, you have to wear gloves, you have to stand in a Homo-Freaktus position, why the hell do you carry this stuff..."
Tom: "Because it's an iPhone."
