A Crazy iPhone Fan Risked His Life for His Phone

Friday, January 4th, 2008

Bijan Rezvani, a tourist visiting New York City reciently decided to risk his life to save his iPhone from an oncoming train according to Laptopmag.com.

Rezvani was asked why he did it and said

Well, first of all it’s an expensive piece of hardware. Too expensive for me, but Steve [Jobs] owns my soul. Content was a major issue too… mainly contacts, but also photos.

It’s the first time I’ve had a cool phone that does anything and also the first time I’ve gone around taking photos of things in my life, so the stuff I had captured was kind of important for me to keep. I also cropped a couple hundred wallpapers for it so that would’ve been gone. A big issue was sort of a privacy one… I didn’t like the idea of someone looking at my photos or of someone being able to text people in my list or read my conversations with friends, etc. The prospect of paying for another phone (by necessity the cheapest offered) didn’t thrill me either.”

Fortunately he’s alright (maybe not in the head), but often stories like these end up being tragedies rather than humorous.
