Ultra Late Adopter: Why I Don’t Want an iPhone… But Will Probably Cave Anyway

1:00AM June 16, 2008 | Gizmodo US Edition

Our great leader Blam has a pet name for me—he calls me “Ula.” Now, while thoughts of svelte Swedish nymphets may be running through your mind, put them aside right now. ULA actually stands for ultra-late adopter—like your sister, or your girlfriend or your lazy cousin Cletus (you know, the one with the squint and behavioral problems). Maybe you are a ULA too, although, since you’re reading Giz, I very much doubt it. Either way, you may be suffering from the same dilemma that many ULAs are suffering: Is this new iPhone worth adopting as your own, especially after resisting temptation and waiting out the first wave? If that’s you, read on.

    I’ll stick with being an NA – non adopter. I’ll hold out for the Sony eXperia X1 or whatever name it is these days.

    I wasn’t so keen on the original iPhone considering the lack of basic phone functions (Video record, MMS, Video call) and now that the 3G version is coming out and still doesn’t have them? I’ll end up getting an LG or Samsung for the next 2 years.
