Not good. Yeah, it's mine. It was in my lap while driving my kid to daycare and I'd forgotten about it when I stepped out of my truck.

I do have a new one (Best Buy replaced it for me). It took me 1.5 hours to get a replacement. I need to find me a good case for this thing. The case I have now is a DIO...it will suffice until I find some real armor for the iPhone. I got rid of the Griffin POS one.

iPhone Didn't Want To Awake!

So, I'm chatting with my wife on the way home from work, hang up and noticed five minutes later that the phone doesn't want to wake up. I kept fiddling with it and holding down the sleep keep for 10-20 seconds.

Finally, I pulled over and took out my Macbook. I plugged the phone into the Macbook. It made the chime sound but still wouldn't power up. I looked at iTunes and noticed that iTunes saw the iPhone without issue.

I decided to take the phone to Best Buy so they could sort it out. I left not long after, because the kids were acting like they were on crack and because the sales people had their heads up their bungholes.

When I got home I did a quick google search and saw that you could power-cycle the iPhone by holding both the sleep and home keys for ten seconds (first link in the google search). I did this and got a silver apple...and after a sixty-second wait, I saw the phone was back to normal. And just in time, too, because the phone immediately starts ringing (it was my wife telling me that she was on the way home).

It's been...what...going on three weeks? That's the first and only issue I have with the phone, so far.

Oh yeah, its now running software version 2.1 (and can go several days without a charge, which is far better than before the update).

I Bought an iPhone 3G 16GB!

I'm the proud owner of an iPhone 3G 16GB! I opted for the white model (just to attempt to be different). I got a Black Griffin Elan clip for it, which will tie me over until I get a full clear case for it. The case came with clear film to place over the touch screen...the film was a b!tCh! to align and even after being careful, I still ended up with a grain of sand (or something) under it. I've left it alone for now but looking at the film bubble is highly annoying!

I bought the phone from Best Buy and the tech guy attempted to sync my old phone's data with my new phone but couldn't get syncing to work. I took it home and tried it and it wouldn't work, but instead of trying to sync them together, I synced the old phone with my Macbook, then synced the iPhone with the Macbook...worked flawlessly!

I'm also able to use my red Motorola H500 bluetooth earpiece with my new phone. It also syncs with my TomTom GPS (yeah, I know....iPhone has GPS capability, so I guess the wife can now use the TomTom).

One cool thing this phone does is utitize wifi...this is awesome and I spent half of last night browsing from the phone. This morning, I accessed my Gmail from the iPhone.

One thing I have yet to do is download apps for it...I plan on doing this sometime this evening.

The charger for this phone is cool...it charges via USB but has this wall adapter that the USB plug connect to so that you can charge via an AC outlet.

The crucial accessory to get is the acrylic case...yeah, I've dropped it already...thank God it was on a linoleum floor (instead of outside on asphalt or concrete).

I'll keep you guys posted as to my iPhone experience. :)
