I began to click refresh on my browser while sitting on www.google.com\/phone at 10:01am on the day of the announcement for the Nexus One. No, I’m not ashamed to admit I am a full-fledged, card-carrying geek.<\/p>\n

As soon as the page came up I began to answer the questions posed. Yes, I want the phone. No, I don’t want it engraved. Yay, I qualify for the $179 price. Everything was going according to plan.<\/p>\n

Then that blasted conscience of mine kicked in. “Um, dude, you have four kids and just bought all of them plus your wife stuff for Christmas. You can’t afford this right now.”<\/em> I argued back “I know, but if I sell my G1 for $100 it will mostly offset the price, I’m good”.<\/em><\/p>\n

I even emailed my wife. I needed her on my side because my conscience wouldn’t stop pestering me.<\/p>\n

Part of why we are about to celebrate our 19th year together is because my wife accepts the geek in me. She said if I wanted it, I should get it! Ha, take that conscience.<\/p>\n

“Do what you want, but you know this will come back to hurt you later,” <\/em>it said.<\/p>\n

All that was left was a click on the final button and the phone would be mine. It would ship that same day. I was beyond excited at the thought!<\/p>\n

Then, I closed the browser.<\/p>\n

My conscience won again.<\/p>\n

Since then I have scoured AndroidGuys.com and more for updates on the phone I should of been experiencing first hand. Reviews were positive and the issues about a lack of support didn’t bother me because, well, I feel pretty comfortable around Android. I figure I could fix or work around whatever issue that might come up.\u00a0 I’m a cocky, full-fledged, card carrying geek!<\/p>\n

I began visiting the T-Mobile store with greater regularity. I wanted to know exactly what my cost would be both for the phone and the plan. My budget was being tweaked a little so I could buy the Nexus One for both my wife and myself in March, maybe.<\/p>\n

Everything was coming together. Then, I held one.<\/p>\n

UGH!!<\/p>\n
