Confessions of a reluctant iPhone Duo buyer

In a surprising turn of events, a person who initially shunned the idea of purchasing an iPhone Duo found themselves reluctantly buying one. The individual explained that they had even gone as far as rising at 4:00 AM to secure the device, only to be relieved when they discovered that their pre-order was indeed successful. However, the excitement was short-lived as the shipping date kept getting pushed back and they ended up waiting until the following year for delivery.

Despite initial doubts about the phone's heft and smaller size compared to their previous iPhone, the buyer ultimately came to appreciate the device's exceptional e-reader capabilities and sturdy build. They noted that the phone's screen and keyboard experience were superior to other e-readers and found the weight reassuringly solid.

While they had some concerns about the Touch ID button's placement, the device still managed to meet their specific work and use case requirements. Overall, the reluctant iPhone Duo buyer expressed their satisfaction with the product and its performance.
