got the iphone

After little consideration and a lot of patience, I traded in my blackberry for an iphone 3G last week. Getting the phone activated took longer than I had hoped. For one, my blackberry was under my company plan. My cell number needed to be released and placed on an individual plan under my name. This took several calls between my telecom contact and At&T before the number was mine. An hour later, I had my iphone in hand and out the door.

My coworker let me borrow his iphone case because I was still looking for the best deal on the net for a cover. He found my phone pathetic with it's original plastic nicely scotch-taped in place. Well, it worked at the time...

Why take mine? Give them yours!

I got a call today from Operations. There's a new hire coming on board next week and I have to give up my blackberry. It's not really mine but the company's and since I'm not high enough on the food chain here, mine has to go to this new guy and I'm back to using my old, thicker than a wallet, dropped one too many times on concrete, crackberry that lacks the camera/video capabilities. Sucks..

All the more reason why I should splurge and get myself an iphone.
