Was it a boobie birdy?

My husband gave me an iPhone for my birthday in October. But he told me to ask if I could get it connected without the data. Not possible so I had to spend my birthday returning my birthday present. Now that my company has announced big layoffs I doubt that an iPhone is in my future.

are there any other kinds?

I got one for my wedding anniversary and I love it. I bought mine in the att store because I thought it would be more convenient if I had service issues. But then they told me there that I'd still have to return it to apple for problems. I just had a small problem with mine and talked to the Atlantic City store. They assure me that if I had any problems and they couldn't fix it in the store for the first year, or longer if I buy the warranty, they would replace it right there. Great to know.
