iPhone (finally)
1 Aug
It’s been a busy two weeks! On July 11, the iPhone 3G was released. At 7:30am that morning, I went to my local AT&T store only to find they were already sold out. I put myself on a waiting list and finally received the call 8 days later. I practically ran to the AT&T store (yes, I really I just admitted I’m a Mac geek, but if you didn’t already know that then you are clearly new here!) and got there just a few minutes after receiving that glorious phone call. Fifteen minutes later I walked out with my new phone in hand, and a huge grin on my face.
Disclaimer: Yes, I fully understand I just signed the next 2 years of my life over to the digital devil (so to speak) – AT&T. Yes, I wanted the iPhone that bad. And no, I don’t regret it.
So anyway, just one week after receiving my iPhone, we took a 9 hour trip to Maine. We left our house at 8am with me at the wheel, and Wyeth at the iPhone, er – GPS 
After only 90 minutes on the road, I made a wrong turn and it was the iPhone to the rescue! It felt a bit strange trusting this little phone to lead us in the right direction, but Steve Jobs did not fail us!
By 12:30, we were down to less than 10% battery power. The AT&T store had been sold out of car chargers, so I only had a wall charger (and no walls handy!). Yikes! Wyeth made some quick moves on the iPhone to find out that an Apple store was a mere 30 minutes away, and less than .5 mile off our route! So we stopped at the Danbury, CT Apple store to buy a car charger, picked up lunch and gas and were back on our way. Now, it was my turn to play with the iPhone the rest of the way to Maine. I spent a lot of time using the GPS, Facebook for iPhone, and also Twinkle (chat/Twitter).
We pulled into Chop Point at exactly 6pm, just in time for dinner! Thanks to the iPhone for helping us to get here
