... do you have an iPhone... well, I have wanted one for a while now.. and my dear dear husband gives it the kybosh everytime I bring it up.
I am one of very few people that I know that doesn't have a cell phone at all. I know. It is a luxury, and I don't really need one... but I do think it will help me manage my time, the kids activities, keep in contact, emergency situation + hello - it will be fun!
I listen to an ipod all day at work - every day - so, I know I will make use of the ipod like features of the iPhone. My iTouch is great, but I can't access alot of the great apps I want :( It does suit my needs right now though.
I need some ways to convince my DH that I really do NEED the iPhone.. help me out folks... what can I say!!

okay! I'm NOT articulate BUT I LOVE my iphone 4s, yes it is a luxury that I survived without while I was growing up. BUT it keeps me organized--SERIOUSLY! When i'm at the Dr. I put my appointments right in there (don't have to worry about losing the card.), there are navigation apps (FREE, cheaper than a garmin), the reminders are AWESOME, if you are out an about talk to siri and she will remind you any time YOU want or WHERE you want. My contacts are all right there in the palm of my hand, it takes AMAZING pictures (don't have to buy another camera!) I use it as my alarm clock. of course I use it for music. I can watch netflix on it. I can read books on it (no need for a kindle or nook) truthfully I don't play games on it, I use it for a tool (although I am ADDICTED to instagram!) if you go with a 16 gig it's not as expensive.... :) I hope this helps! I sort of had a fit for my first smartphone (I like to be organized...it was a droid-my iphone is MUCH more intuitive!) sorry this is a book...
I wish I could help, but I don't have one. I have a basic flip phone cell phone.
Nicole, tell him that you need one in case of an emergency on the road or in case you get lost or delayed. I never get lost anymore thanks to my iPhone. I just pull over and put in the address of where I need to be and the gps in it tells me the route. As a woman, you should not have to rely on strangers if your car breaks down. You should be able to stay in the car and call someone for help.
Let's see..let me count the reasons:
1)He can be in touch with you ANY TIME! ANY TIME! Crop time..shopping time..work time..yeah!
2)You guys will always have a camera ready for your tooooo cute kids.
3)Out and about and need to find the nearest timmies/starbucks/fast food resturant..there is a app for that.
4)Waiting in line with you at the bank and he is wondering what the football/hockey/basketball score is..there is app for that.
5) At home depot and can't figure out how to convert imperial to metric because of some funky supply list..there is a app for that.
6) Keys fall under the seat in the car..it's pitch black..can't see anything..there is a flashlight app (use mine everyday to find cat toys under the sofa!)
7) Calendar app to keep track of everything..
8) Built in GPS/google maps..never get lost or lose your way
9)So many of the apps are free..he would like free!!!
10) You could be texting your friends instead of talking to him while he is watching football..he'll like THAT!
11) You can blog/facebook/tweet/instgram/read the paper/surf the web/do your banking/find recipes/makes lists from you phone..frees up the computer for him!
12) Your daycare/school/sitter can get ahold of you 24/7. So so important!
13)He is hanging a photo..needs a level..there is a app for that!
14)You guys are out and need to find a business..see if it is open..yellow pages app!
15)Want to order pizza..there is app for that..faster than phoning..and I know he loves his pizza!!
It is seriously every single convience at your finger tips :)
seriously it's the best thing since toilet paper.. that's all i 'm gonna say! LOVE IT ... LOVE IT and with it i take pictures EVERYDAY about EVERYDAY stuff.. and with an SLR i never would have done that.. music, movies, schedules, calendar, reminders, SIRI! the camera apps are fabulous... GET IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Vanessa about sums up all the app aspects of it...I got mine at Christmas and it is a fun toy, but couldn't make a phone call if my life depended on it on a Saturday afternoon...with MTS and the phone service sucks on it...don't get service in my kitchen at my house, just in the living room...but the app part of it is super cool and so much fun...blogging in simple and easy to do...grocery lists, calendars, notes and games...plus it occupies the kids when you have to wait around for the others to be done something or waiting at the doctor's etc...definitely a fun toy...mine is not too dependable as a phone though...especially when there is high call traffic on the weekends etc...
Everyone else has pretty much cover all of the highlights.
Here are my favorite things:
1. The calendar. I always have it with me. I use Google calendar on my phone and so it is also updated when I get back to my computer. DH and I share the calendar, so we can both see what is added to the calendar.
2. Maps. You are never lost. You can also use it to find the nearest gas station, restaurant, Target, etc.
3. Safety. You can get in touch the DH whenever you need him and he can get in touch with you.
Plus the camera, Instagram and email are great to have at your fingertips.
GOOD LUCK! :)
Kyle wont let me get an Iphone either...even though he got one in October:( I've been asking for a year now!!! I do have aphone...a simple qwerty phone that sucks!! I dont get service in the basement with it. Are Kyle and Ian in cahoots with each other. Dang it men!! My contract is up in April...so here's hoping (my phone is in Kyles name, so he does have the final say:( )
I have a cell phone, but I have been trying to convince myself I need an I phone and after reading your viewers comments I think I am sold!
Well I don't think I am much help as Dave and I share an ancient cellphone! I am so out of date with it,but it suits the purpose.I would just once in my life like to be up to date.Good Luck!
