everyone hates their phones
I like my phone fine. I open it up and push the little numbers and talk to people and hang up, and occasionally I check voicemail. Also, it's red.
...wow, I am totally not his market.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

I want an iPhone, but not because I hate my cell phone. I feel the way that Katie does (except my phone is silver) about my phone.
However, I want the iPhone b/c it's also a video iPod with a huge screen, as well as (more or less) a wee portable computer (at least, it meets about 50% of my "computer" needs), and it's soooooo fucking pretty.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I was watching the iPhone circus on the news this morning-- there's a couple guys that have been at the Apple store since Monday morning.

I like my phone fine, but it's beginning to not hold a charge for very long. Also, T-Mobile's voicemail service lacks something--I often get the notice that I have voicemail hours afterwards. Which is not helpful.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I have no idea why the first guy in line was there since Monday (obviously you could still get the phone by lining up yesterday) but the second guy was doing interviews to promote a charity. He wasn't great at promotion-- I didn't find out what the charity was, and his phone battery was dead so he couldn't do radio interviews. But I give him credit for trying.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Chatty!co-worker has summed up the line for the iPhone thusly: "Serenity t-shirt, Serenity t-shirt, Serenity slogan t-shirt, Apple t-shirt, hot chick with Lisa Loeb glasses, Serenity t-shirt, Serenity t-shirt...."
Yeah, yeah, blah blah stereotypecakes; it still made me laugh.

The hot chick with the Lisa Loeb glasses is writing about it.

I work literally across the street from the mall where Hot Chick With Lisa Loeb Glasses is blogging.
t edit From the blog:
We stood in line briefly before a security guard came to shoo us away. "Are you in line for the iPhone, ma'am? The line can't start until 9:00."
::snerk:: So utterly unsurprising.
