Blogging the iLine from my Sidekick 3


Day 4 of iPhone mania. The iPhone store San Francisco opens at 9am for the faithful. I decide to try my luck even though the line is nearly a block long and I have a conference call at 10am…

----------------------- 9:04 am -----------------------
colornoun: Guy at the end of iphone line has hanso foundation shirt on

mw: Sweet!

mw: Dork

colornoun: Totally

colornoun: In the line, but only waiting until 930

colornoun: Don't these peeps have jobs?
mw: I knew it!
mw: Good luck

Blogged from my trusty Sidekick 3. ☺

UPDATE: Wow. That was an easy setup. I may never buy a phone from a carrier again. Then again, everyone else seems to be thinking the same thing. It's loverly even though EDGE is down and widgets are sad :( SA says that it's like the luke in his x-wing taking out the deathstar of AT&T
