I don't get how an iPhone can be considered solely a rich person's toy. I'm not claiming to be hard up, but I live a pretty frugal lifestyle, and I consider it a completely reasonable expense. It's my phone, it's my map, it's my address book, it's my calendar, it's my handheld gaming device, it's my alarm clock, it's my reading device, etc. ad nauseam. It, my laptop, my apartment, my utility bills, clothes, and food are basically my only expenses. From that list, clothes are the only thing I'll spend less money on, and nothing will spend more time within arms reach. When I bitch about AT&T's service, it's because they told me they would give me something for my money, and they aren't following through. How that gets conflated as privileged rich white-person whining is beyond me.
