i [heart] steve jobs
I relented and got an iPhone. The crackberry was way cheaper, but iPhone interface was way way cooler. I sat and played with it at the ATT store in SF (in the mall!! I can't stand the mall, it makes me physically ill) for about a half hour before i decided to take it.
Then discover they do not actually have any there. He refers me to the Apple store a block away. When I get there, not only do they tell me there are none left at the store, they are actually sold out nation-wide! I can't even order it on the website (which the girl helpfully pulls up "see? currently out of stock!")
I make a mental note to go to Emeryville to try that Apple store, take BART home, miss my stop because I'm on the Richmond train and I forget that I parked at MacArthur instead of Rockridge. I finally make it to the E'ville Apple store and they too are out. Conveniently, there is an ATT store down the block. They too are out!
I feel I'm starting to worry. My phone was broken - I could call out and people could hear me, but I couldn't hear a thing. Which renders the phone completely useless (except that I can text). The salesperson says I can call other stores if I like while he waits on other customers. I try and fail to get a live person at the Oakland store, then randomly call the El Cerrito store. They have iPhones and they close in 30 minutes.
Bad directions and a false stop later, I arrive at the store 5 minutes before they close. Now I have a shiny new gadget to figure out!
Anyone trying to get an iPhone, GO TO THE EL CERRITO STORE and talk to Frank. They have PLENTY of iPhones!
On a totally unrelated note, tonight I get my haircut. FINALLY. So tired of it being so long! I'm gonna have the stylist take before and after pictures with the iPhone.
