			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p>You don&#8217;t have an iPhone.  Maybe you are happy with your existing phone.  You may have just signed a new contract with another carrier.  You can&#8217;t afford one?</p>
<p>Any way you cut it, society is now labeling you LAME!  But never fear - you do have options:</p>
<p>- You can wait for hackers to <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,134117-c,iphone/article.html">unlock it</a> (and then pay a $1,500 premium for it)<br />
- You can <a href="http://mashable.com/2007/07/02/mobilepet-myphone/">adopt one</a> (even though it isn&#8217;t real)<br />
- There will soon be <a href="http://www.mercurynews.com/ci_6281105?source=most_viewed">tons of parts</a> floating around for you to buy (saving yourself assembly labor costs)<br />
- You can buy <a href="http://www.smh.com.au/news/phones--pdas/new-touch-mobile-is-no-iphone-copycat/2007/07/04/1183351220390.html">a knockoff</a> (that isn&#8217;t a knockoff)<br />
- Then there&#8217;s just <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,287877,00.html">faking it</a></p>
<p>Or, you can just read the <a href="http://www.tech.co.uk/gadgets/phones/mobile-phones/news/iphone-shortage-fears-as-700000-sold?articleid=1631192483">money quote</a> of the day:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;This has prompted concerns that the higher than expected demand could lead to iPhone shortages.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>
<p>And wonder who the hell is &#8220;concerned&#8221; that a there may be shortages of a $600 cell phone besides <a href="http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,2150858,00.asp">John Dvorak</a>.</p>
<p>UPDATE:  You can also&#8230;<a href="http://www.m2.com/m2/web/story.php/2007E06945E0CDB821328025730C003DA497">win one</a> (not)</p>
