iPhone 3Gs – Okay, I'll Keep It
As I wrote yesterday, I had decided to return the unit due to the overheating and poor battery life issues I had. I called my local AT&T store, and they told me that if I called Apple, they’d be able to help me a lot faster, so I did. Continue reading “iPhone 3Gs – Okay, I'll Keep It”
iPhone 3Gs Update
I called my local AT&T store and explained the issue I was having with the battery life. The rep I spoke with said she really didn’t know anything about iPhones, but that I had 30 days in which to return mine. After chatting with someone else she suggested I call Apple and see if they could help me, because they couldn’t do much for me at the AT&T store. So I thanked her and dialed 1-800-My-iPhone.

Why I Love my iPhone 3Gs, and Why I'm Returning It
Last week I got an iPhone 3Gs. It took a little getting used to, but as time went on, I liked it more and more. I rarely had a chance to use it as a phone, but I used it regularly in my office on WiFi to get email and surf the web. Today was the first real test I had to use it on the road, on AT&T’s network. Today is also the day I decided to return my iPhone to the AT&T store where I got it. Continue reading “Why I Love my iPhone 3Gs, and Why I'm Returning It”
Firefox Update – What's Wrong With This Picture?
I saw this message this morning on a machine I don’t use too much.
Pay attention to the version numbers…
iPhone Strike… 8? 9? I'm losing count.
Yesterday afternoon, I got the call! My iPhone 3Gs was in! I promptly drove to Montpelier to get it. But this was just the beginning… Continue reading “iPhone Strike… 8? 9? I'm losing count.”
Why I Decided to Get an iPhone (or "I Am Funneling the Kool-Aid")
I did it. Yesterday, I walked into an AT&T store and plunked down the plastic for a 32G iPhone 3Gs. Once again, Steve’s Reality Distortion Field was in full effect, and my past hatred for Apple was but a distant memory as I happily test a unit at the store and accessed familiar websites with ease.
Given that I live in Vermont, other options simply are not options here. Sprint and the Palm Pre are non-players, as the coverage in this area is non-existent. Verizon Wireless is owned and operated by Satan (or monkeys… I am not sure which) and due to my past experience with them, I refuse to use VZ again. T-Mobile? Not an option. They won’t even sell me a phone here.
That leaves AT&T. I’ve been a Unicel customer for years, but since they got gobbled up by AT&T, that was the path of least resistance. Also, I’ll be able to keep my Nokia e71 as a backup phone which I can use when I go biking or hiking or whatnot, or in the even that the iPhone fails in one way or another.
So for the next two years, I’m an AT&T customer. God help me.
Windows 7 Now Available for Pre-Order
Windows 7 is now available for pre-ordering. Looks like there’s no stopping it now.
Jason Watkins had better be ready to pony up my five bucks in a few months!
Safari 4 (or "Way to Make a Great First Impression, Apple")
This morning I started up Safari 4 on my Windows box. I won’t go into the controversy about Apple’s auto-update policies, or privacy concerns with it pre-caching sites you (have not yet) visit(ed), etc. I think the first page I got sums it up nicely.

Calorie Counting (or, "I Lied")
Last week I decided not to count calories anymore, and to just track my weight unless I felt the need to “diet” again.
That resolution lasted about 6 hours. I decided after 4 straight days of weighing in at 170#, enough was enough, and I needed to be more careful again, so I never stopped tracking my caloric intake. The result is, four days later, I was back down to 166.9# this morning. Still not exactly where I want to be, but back in my “comfort zone.”
I’ll stop counting again next week.
Maybe.
