Quest for iPhone, Finale

I am hyped out. My manager @ C28 recently wrote a post on being on Inspiration Overload. This, today, is me.

Long story short (like I've ever done that) I acquired three iPhones today. One for me. One for Amy. One for my mom (who's vacationing in Alaska). Things got a little hairy towards the end of the show. Big guys with big money came around trying to buy their way into the front. Some people gladly accepted. Not me. He He.

By the time we got to the release, Wellington Green Mall had 200-250 people in line. The Apple Store probably had 600-1000 iPhones on the floor (no idea how many in the back). Amy and I were supposed to be the "second" group in line, but due to some shifty work and creative counting by the first guy (who profited from earlier stated big guys with big bills) I ended up the fourth "group" to go in. I didn't care. I was getting an iPhone! Besides, he knew I owned C28 and I didn't want to look like a jerk.

The experience inside the Apple Store, for me, was anti-climactic. Honestly, the Wellington Green Apple Store is not one of the best, which is why I went there (less busy). We got the phones. We got some cheap cases until we get better cases. And I got a new bluetooth headset called Jawbone (check out their online demo... incredible. (Above, Amy and I went to Smokey Bones Barbecue with her mom and John (who are in town for the Ukraine mission trip leaving Sunday.))

I'll review the iPhone features and Jawbone later. (I'm actually pretty tired). Hooking up the phone(s) took 10 minutes. Merging iPod files is a no brainer. Moving my calendar/contacts was not a problem either. Moving Amy's over (since she NEVER synced with a computer before... keeping everything on her RAZR) is a little more difficult. It'll work itself out in the AM.

All the hype, and we go the weekend services coming up (I gotta set up CFHomestead tomorrow at 8:30am.) No rest for the weary. No pity for Jeff, though, HE'S GOT AN IPHONE!

Good job Jeff! Congrats! Looking forward to hearing what you think of the phone. I heard someone here talking about getting a phone yesterday and laughed to myself. They were thinking they'd just be able to walk over to the pasadena store and pick one up. Right.
