Write an iPhone disappointment Haiku in the comments, win a Mophie Juice Pack Air

Okay, here's one that completely fails to honor the 5-7-5 format (damn your four syllable monkey wrenching, Gil!), but I include it anyway for the amusement of all:

AT&T, what's the dealio?
It's like each iPhone comes
With a little Amelio.

Haiku don't rhyme and 5-7-5 syllables is not de rigeur. (Though the following does adhere to that scheme)

With a poor network
And hope of Flash unfulfilled
Still, it is flashy.

Sideways pic, turned, stays
on its side; something is wrong -
I can't pin it down

(look at http://twitpic.com/fdivl/full in your phone, and try to turn it the right way up. I want to pin the screen to stop rotation for pics like this.)
