Okay, I got my Ideon and iPhone at the same time. It took me a while to figure out which of the items I should devote most of my time on this week--I waited forever for both. Guess what? The iPhone won. Alright, the phone/computer/music player is far more complicated and I actually need it for work and stuff... In a nutshell, I just love it and I can not put it down.
I thought that nothing can tear me away from my SOC's (my Ideon is still in the box).
Know what? Maybe because I am really not crazy about the color red. Ideon is all red and so is Iron Gear (I'll get this one, regardless of the color). I am also not too excited about the upcoming SOC's. Maybe because I don't know any of them and I am not too thrilled about the overall look and feel (this mostly refers to Iron Gear, I like its size though). Alright, Baikanfu and Raideen are pretty exciting. So I changed my mind... I am somewhat excited. It's just the red I guess....

Hmm. Thought you laid off SOC collecting altogether...

It might not be as bad as you think. Did you spend most of your time with the iphone surfing the RJ boards and other robot sites? If so, it's acceptable.

Hi nikodiablo. Nope, I did not stop collecting. As of now, I have all of the color SOC's from GX-01 to GX-36. I have skipped GX-32, 33 and 37 though. I do plan to get GX-38, 39, 40 and 41. You just can't keep me away from these babies... Gotta go, my iPhone is beckoning me....

personally i think the 1st generation iphone is a waste of money. ... thats one thing i learned about apple products is that never to buy the 1st gen stuff. I watched my friend at work get burned over buying the first generation ipod way back a few years ago and lo and behold, mini came out .. then nano ... and ipod video .. in what ? 2 years ?
wait another few months and a 2nd generation iphone with extended capabilities, more HD space, etc will come out at the same price.
=) but if course thats my opinion .. id love to get one of those one day ... after the price isnt so steep and better Service providers than the ones theyre offering now ... then again im fine with a nokia cell phone... if i wanted something fancy id just get a macbook .

I've had the same cell/Palm unit for the past 4 years... I desperately needed to upgrade my cellphone. Though this is super-expensive... The iPhone is actually useful, both for personal and business purposes. Heck, it's the same price as two high end SOC's, right?

Okay, it has been over 3 weeks since I got my iPhone. I think that I am ready to open/play with my Ideon.
Hands down, the iPhone is one of the best purchases of my life. I feel the same with my SOC collection. I can't believe that I have spent close to $6,000 on my SOC's. However, we just got back from Italy and spent even more. So I guess my SOC is cheaper in comparrsion. I have been collecting since 2000 and the joy SOC's have given me over the years have been priceless (I sound like an Amex ad).

Have to agree with you on the Iphone, one of the best purchases I have made in the last few years. I use it for both business and personal use. I almost never have to turn on my computer now. I love it and recommend it to anyone on the fence. Also love the SOC's just picked up Getter Liger to complete that set.

Upgrades will always be around the corner. U just hav to know what u need. M still waiting for the iphone. But my cell got stolen. So m forced to get this SE P1i. And m very happy with it.. I may defer getting a new ipod (stolen also) and just get the iphone til it arrives in my country.

Man, I can't believe that they dropped the price $200 on the iPhones. It's still one of the best things I have ever purchased and so there's not much regret. But heck, I could have purchased a nice SOC with this $200.
I'll be in the Philippines next month. Does the iPhone work there?
