The Crazy iPhone

I've always had my opinions about the iPhone. First I thought it was stupidly expensive. Secondly, I find it annoying when someone is clearly referring to their phone as the iPhone. "Where's my iPhone?" "I took a picture with my iPhone". We get it. You're proud of your little phone. Excuse me, your iPhone.



Well, I'm a sell out and when Matt put the iPhone as a birthday present on the table I didn't decline. It didn't hurt that I couldn't hear out of my 3rd replacement phone. So we marched our little selves down to AT&T. First they were out of iPhones. What? Whatever. THEN we finally got some attention days later (geez, AT&T must really be making a killing, I don't blame them for paying for the monopoly).


Well let me tell you a few things about the iPhone.


First- you know their funny commercials that say "AT&T Covers 97% of Americans"? Notice it says Americans not America. There's lots of places that AT&T doesn't cover because not many people live there. Apparently my house is one of them.


Their texting is actually pretty cool because it's more like an instant message and you can see the ongoing conversation. However, you're not allowed to write words that aren't really words because it auto corrects. That's annoying.


The battery life is AWFUL. I have to charge it every single solitary day. My old phone would go strong for 4 days. Then if it died when I was out and about, I could just pop into US Cellular and they'd give me a free charged one.


Somehow minutes have become an issue. I apparently don't talk to enough AT&T customers- and I'm getting in trouble for it!

I think you can probably tell a lot about a person by their apps. My apps are iMapyMyFit, Pedometer, WordsFreewithFriends, Pandora, and Wedding 911. My apps say I'm a nerd, and cheap. They're free.

So here's me bored at work... writing about iPhones. This weekend should be fun. Going to a wedding. I shall take notes and get ideas!!

**** I forgot to mentiont that I appreciate my new phone like crazyyyyy! I'm not cool enough for an iPhone- but I suppose Matt thinks so. He's the best.
