The lack of feature parity on the sms side (poor quality videos, stupid text responses when ppl like something) is annoying .. but if you're ostracized because of the green bubble, that may turn out better for you anyway. My kids don't have phones yet, but I'm pretty sure I would be very unsympathetic to pleas for an iphone so they can fit in. It's hard being a kid/teenager, but I'd rather them learn early how stupid/shallow this is, even if (or because) it's painful.
