Thank you for shopping with AT&T. Your iPhone 3G order has been received. An email will be sent when your iPhone 3G order is shipped.

 

Yep, I bought an iPhone.  Actually, I bought two – one for me and one for Meggie.  I am sure I will eventually have tangible evidence of this phone, but for right now, it is being pieced together by machines and underpaid little Chinese women (which, I have heard are just as quick and as effective as machines).  Hurry up ladies and get my damn phone to the AT&T warehouse! 

As is standard practice, I initially made all sorts of negative comments about how unnecessary and ridiculously overpriced the iPhone was when Brandon got it.  And as is standard practice, I eventually caved and got the same contraption I have been crapping on.  I have no soul, no morals and no convictions.  I only have the desire to be a consumer.  It’s great to be an American!

    It’s cool. I hate on my Nokia-version-of-a-Blackberry all the time, but I’ve had it for two (three?) years and haven’t bought another phone. It *is* indeed great to be an American and to double standardize with the best of them!

    I remember phones with dial, and nothing else

    I secretly envy you. I’m going to steal your phone immediately after you get it.
