It’s here!

My iPhone 4 from Verizon arrived Monday afternoon. My wife was gracious enough to let me get this, but she told me that night that I would not be able to get a new phone for not one, not two, but for three years! That means I’ll be missing out on the iPhone 5, iPhone 6, but should be good to go when iPhone 7 hits!

On a serious note. I liked my BlackBerry. It was nice being connected to the social world and having the Internet at my fingertips. Unfortunately, the browser for BlackBerry leaves a lot to be desired. I understand the web kit for BB OS6 is better, but I have been desiring an iPhone since it was announced 4 years ago! Unfortunately, in my neck of the woods, all we have is Verizon, so an iPhone was never to be had…until now!

It’s a nice phone (and makes for a good toy too!). I decided not to load all the apps (read free games) on it like I had on my iPod Touch. Most of them I didn’t play and was just too lazy to remove them. Now, I only have a few games that I play, a handful of social apps and some productivity apps. And, I installed some of my ringtones that I had on my BlackBerry. Needless to say, I’m one happy geek!

The iPhone wait

I was pumped this morning when I woke up. Starting at 1am for me, I could preorder the iPhone 4 from Verizon. I logged into the existing customer site and was shown that I could preorder the phone…at full retain price. I figured as much since I had just upgraded my wife’s phone with my early upgrade and she isn’t eligible for an upgrade until 2/26. So what would the iPhone 4 cost me right now? Check out the picture!

For those who can’t see it well (or didn’t click on the picture), the iPhone 4 – 16GB is $649.99 (or $199.99 on new contract) and the iPhone 4 – 32GB (the one I’ll be getting) is $749.99 (or $299.99 on new contract). They don’t ship until 2/10. Hopefully they’ll still be in stock in 3 weeks.

Rough night

It was a rough night tonight. I won’t go into details, but suffice to say, I’ve had better Wednesday nights.

The redeeming grace: iPhone 4 comes out on Verizon to preorder tomorrow! Actually, just an hour and a half from now for me. I might be able to order it now. If not, I’ll be doing so on the 26th.

The iPhone Cometh!

Available for an early upgrade. I might be hitting the local Verizon stores in town that day.
