iPhone 3G
It’s been a week since I last posted.
On the night of July 10th, I set my alarm for 6:00 am.
On July 11th my alarm did not sound. I awoke at 7:30 am. To this day I’m unsure what happened, but all the same I’m proud of myself for somehow getting up unassisted before noon. I proceeded to hit up every local AT&T store. Each had only received enough phones to satisfy half of the line attendees. In desperation, at 9:00 am, I journeyed to the nearest Apple store. There I queued for nine hours. Upon passing through the glossy gates of gadgetry, I fell victim to AT&T’s misfiled account records and the Apple store’s unpreparedness. My tribulations are in the vein of this guy’s accounts.
Never again will I attend an iPhone launch.
I did eventually get the phone, two days ago, through AT&T’s direct fulfillment.
Most of the applications I downloaded in anticipation for the phone’s release I’ve since deleted. Some apps, like Evernote and NetNewsWire are too sloppily put together to bother with for now. Others, like AOL radio and last.fm, turned out to be redundant: Pandora is amazing.
More to come.
