Why does it always rain on me?

Ok...I'm not too excited about my iphone anymore..I just came back form a horrible lunch where I ran around in the rain to all of the different phone companies trying to figure out what to do..i hate that I have to use AT&T especially since they are trying to make me put down a 500 dollar deposit (because I don't have a long enough credit history i the U.S)...I'm so tired..maybe I should just return it and get a blackberry instead..but I just reeeeeeaallly reeeeaaallly want this to work..oh and to add to the injury they released the 16GB Iphone today..and I got the 8GB yesterday...gaah.
