If you have been following anything from the last 36 hours on this blog, you know it’s been a huge hassle to get my iPhone. Here’s a quick background on the issue.
At my last employer we received a 15% discount for Cingular/AT&T.  Having any sort of discount, bundling internet/phone, or U-Verse will label you as [...]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU HEARD IT, I HAVE MY 3G iPHONE!!!!
I can’t divulge details yet because I need to make a 6th trip to a new AT&T store to get some little things solved out. Yes, where there is a will there is a way. And the way is 3G iPhone.
Here are all the [...]

This is who we’re rolling with tonight.
They don’t know our names. We’re just ‘the bloggers’. It’s probably better that way.

Check out the video post below for updated videos.  In recent news, we went back to make sure a line hadn’t started. Mall [...]

If you watch one video and one video only, please make it this one.
Take special note of the ‘pull my pants up so they know I mean business’ exit of the car, followed by the ‘Do they even know who they are dealing with?’ strut.

Joe has arrived from Hartford safely, and we’re hanging out until it’s time to go to the store.
Here’s the interesting thing…
Joe emails me from the Hartford Airport with an email that says “I’m good, right?” at 10:57am, and included this screenshot:

Then when he lands in Baltimore he sends me this screenshot, 4 1/2 hours later…..

Why [...]

Seriously, this is the first and last time I EVER ship something International using USPS.  What a sad, sad failure their tracking system is.

That’s the best information you can give me?  Wasn’t it picked up at the USPS branch? Was it possibly transferred to a facility?  Maybe 2?  Don’t you think it might have been [...]

Last night, I had a dream about the new iPhone.
The date was today, Thursday. The day before launch.  I walked into a local dollar store to get some paper plates. At the checkout, I look over and notice a box in the corner shelf. Full of iPhones.
I frantically run over to them. You would think [...]

Amidst all the excitement of the 3G iPhone release on Friday, I think I forgot about how awesome the applications are going to be.
Check out these 2 apps by a company called PosiMotion:
G-Spot: Position Sharing for the iPhone
Look at the detail of the GPS coordinates there.  It’s like a geocaching machine right in your pocket.  [...]

Still waiting to hear what time the iPhone will be available at Apple stores. We know that 8am is the magic time at AT&T stores, but I want to avoid those at all costs.

My second thought: “Wow, [...]
