What I wouldn't pay $600 for

Unless you've been completely shut off from the world...or possibly playing too many video games... you've heard of Apple's new iPhone.

I won't lie. This is, indeed, a pretty object. But I have way too many issues to ever pay that amount of money for a phone. For starters, I like the whole touch screen in theory, but for me it would be a disaster. That's why I got a flip phone.I would constantly call people without knowing it on a regular phone. I got tired of having to lock/unlock it every time I had to transport it.
Second, I drop my my mobile phone ALL the damn time. And actually, I just dropped my iPod this morning. It still works thankfully, else I would have had a whole tantrum/depression thing going on. I'm already irked that I will have to send it back for the whole battery issue (it's a good ol' pink mini iPod with one of those shit batteries). If I dropped a $600 phone, I would cry and lock myself up in a room for a week.
Third, I have a toddler. My last phone was temperamental because of his ninja skills in finding it. This is also why I won't get even a RAZR. Sure, they're pretty. Not so pretty after a 2 year dipped it in applesauce, now is it? I cringe to think what would happen if he managed to get his hands on this.
Finally, I don't actually talk to people on the phone. Maybe a few times. I like to text message. But I don't particularly like talking on the phone.
If they came out with a $50 version, I may consider getting one. But for the time being, I'm happy with my very limited-function Samsung phone.
