iPhone Update 1

First of all, I'm a little tired of the people who are saying don't get an iPhone on Verizon because you can't surf the net and talk on the phone. Those are people who are committed to wireless companies not called Verizon. There are no phones from Verizon that you can surf and talk at the same time. It's not something I used to use that I'm losing. If my primary concern was having an iPhone I would have switched to AT&T years ago. But I'm committed to Verizon and because of that, I live with the Verizon limitations.

Second: LOVE IT! Today I found a geocache with my iPhone! I've used my apps and they are faster than on my iTouch. Reception is better than my Samsung Rogue (and I really liked that phone).


Anybody else have the iPhone on Verizon?

My Phone Arrived Today!

Today was the day, preordained by Apple and Verizon, that I received (for a (not so) small fee) the gift of the iPhone on Verizon! Only one little hiccup in the whole thing and that may have been a preference setting in iTunes that overwrote my contacts. I've corrected that with a little help from the friendly folks at my local Verizon store. They haven't had many opportunities to work with the phones yet so they were mesmerized. All in all, a good day (considering how sick I am). Tomorrow - I try to get into a doctor's office!

Is it just me?

Is it just me or is this whole "global warming" thing a bunch of whoee? I think it's just like that word I just used! In the last 8 days our "high" temperature didn't exceed 10 in half of them. With windchill the coldest has been in the -40+ range. In my opinion, we need to start a whole bunch of gas guzzlers and let 'em run with their heaters on for a few hours! That would be wasteful, but I'm sure it would cause the temps to go up a degree or two...nah! So for those of you in milder climes, please enjoy your weather for me. I'm going to find another sweatshirt!
