The iPhone broke ground in 2009 when Apple launched it's first version - the 3G. Being the inpatient, have-to-have-it-NOW person I am, I renewed my contract for 3years and got the phone for $149. I can't imagine living without it now. When I leave it at home I instantly regret not having immediate access to email. I also have a habit of leaving the house without knowing exactly where I'm headed, so I use my phone for directions. I'm not a big app person, but I use basic utilities like the calculator (which is so easy to use with such a big screen), calendar and iPod. Even for simple phone functions, the iPhone makes these super-easy, i.e.: visual voicemail, texting with a landscape keyboard and searching through hundreds of contacts.
It's a sexy Apple product - aren't they all - that sucked me in instantly. Now I'm kicking myself because the newest version - iPhone4 - is SO much cooler and now I want that.
The only major complaint I have is the service, which is likely due to my service provider - Telus. My 3G drops calls occasionally and can be crackly at times. Since I moved out of my 9th story condo, these issues have lessened.

Sushi Queen opened recently this summer (2010). Located south of Gerrard on the east side of Bay Street, this Izakaya serves a wide variety of standard and special sushi dishes.
1) Price: You can get dirt-cheap fish anywhere, but SQ is known for it's quality. Their food is soooo tasty. During lunch hour, for example, you can get a maki set (3 rolls) for about $11. (They'll be the best 3 rolls you ever eat.)
2) Food. So addictive. It has ruined other restaurants for me. I always compare them to SQ and have yet to find someone who can compete. The chefs have great presentation skills - everything is neat, clean and fresh-looking every time. Try the Tokyo roll!!! - It's amazing. Mmmm tokyo roll.
3) Service. The servers are smart, polite and fast. If you need a quick lunch, they can get you in, fed and out in 20 minutes. On the other hand, if you're camping out for the evening, they won't bother you. They also accommodate big groups and will do separate checks if you ask.
4) Location. This is the type of place I bring my parents when they visit and I need an inexpensive place that serves great food. I would totally bring a date here too (classy neighborhood, good ambiance, clean, new and well kept). But it's also a great casual place for lunch or a late dinner during the week. Oh, they also deliver! Free over $20 or so, but don't quote me because they may have changed their policy since.
Enjoy!
