    Needlessly disingenuous

    Farhoo admits candidly in only the third para "but I never intended to keep it", making a mockery of the headline "Why I returned my iPhone"... he was always going to return it, no matter what.

    The inconsistencies make this saga more than a little ridiculous... "a $600 phone seemed at least $300 too rich" BUT "This is the story of how I came around", BUT he returned it anyway. Well, did you come around or not?

    There is a story here, and he's right, it is about how a breakthrough tech device can subtly improve the way you live your life (though it's good to see above that Luddites continue to breed). A pity it was wrapped in so much BS.
