So I waited on line on the release day from 8am till 2pm and picked up a white 16GB 3G iPhone.
It was quite interesting, I got handed a T-Shirt from a guy who eventually almost fought mall security cause he was soliciting supposedly. They also handed out free SmartWater bottles of water and as we got closer to the store in the mall, a starbuks person was handing out little small cups of lemon ice slushy drinks.
I got to the store, and was interviewed by a local paper. Newsday.com but handed it off to a friend I met on line instead who made a much better interview. I was lol the whole time. He called the iPhone sexy when the reporter asked him why he liked it so much. haha
I was about the 190th person to get into the store for the new iPhone at my local Apple store.
When I finally got in the store and swapped my old iPhone number to the new one and paid, I had to then either go home to try to activate it with iTunes, or try it in the store. I figured try it in the store and after trying 5 times and going to a lucky MacBook Pro, I was able to activate it and was out of the store.
So far I really like how the 3G does not interfere with some speakers and how the GPS is now using satellites.
When they iron out the 2.0 bugs, hopefully it will be more stable. I have had a lot of apps crash and have had to remove one or two and re-sync to get some to work.
Overall I’m happy even though it’s about $10 dollars more a month now. Well worth it for the faster 3G service in my area.
