I’ve not posted for a LONG time, so lemme catch you all up:
- I’ve been working hard and long and I am mostly exhausted, except when I deny myself sleep and play my warlock again like I never stopped.
- We got a truck bed cover for the truck so that when we move, we’ll be able to pack stuff into the truck without fear of them blowing out, getting soaked or being exposed to eyes everywhere.
- Oh yea – we’re supposed to be moving … although there is no real way to know whether we are or not, so we wait.
- My WoW account got closed for a violation of Blizzard’s Terms of Service (TOS) but was actually an accident, or so Blizzard told me a week later. Go figure. I blame them for my re-addiction.
- Finally, iPhone 3.0 is out and this is what I wanna talk about today:
You see, I been waiting for it for MONTHS. Anxiously anticipating it’s arrival, was MAD when I had to go to work early today so I missed the actual release time … but now that I am home and have downloaded it and installed it, it feels anticlimatic. Why? I am still trying to figure it out. Probably because I haven’t yet had a chance to share it with anyone … or maybe it’s just that I STILL can’t zoom my camera for closeups … or maybe it’s because AT&T officially does not offer MMS until “the end of summer“… I see no difference in the “improved calendar” (maybe it’s because somehow I had those features before with third-party solutions) … and I, personally, have NO use for voice messages yet … it was a pleasant surprise to find my iPhone notes in Mac OS X Mail … but the best part of it so far was that I DID manage to FULLY enjoy being able to cut, copy and paste stuff … and THAT I still have yet to test extensively.
Aside from all of this, however, I DO notice that the interface and response is snappier .. although I may need to REALLY stress it to see for sure because in order to hack my iPhone to show the MMS option, I had to restart the phone to take the settings – so maybe it’s not as fast as I thought it might be.
What pisses me off about this mixed tragedy and blessing iPhone 3.0 software was that they burned all of us “old” iPhone users by giving the new guys stuff that this damn phone should have had YEARS ago and for people like me to get the upgrades, I have to fork out anywhere from $400 to $600 – which I think is ridiculous. Just like with Blizzard, I wonder everyday WHY we give our money to these people.
Like everything else in this country, I am beginning to realize that this whole “customer is king” spiel is a farce. There is no way *I* can be king when what I want costs an arm, a leg, and two whole eyeballs – in so many more ways than 1.
I keep saying that Jamaicans bitch and complain about stuff – how people “fight ‘gainst” … an’ I’ve been here less than a year and already I see where I had it good there … GOOD I tell you. In Jamaica, want a new phone, buy it. It might be expensive in Jamaican money terms, but: (1) the prices are still subsidized and work out less than you would get overseas – never-mind the limited varieties … and (2) none of the providers tell you that you can’t upgrade because your contract is still young. They don’t even care if you upgrade so long as you pay your damn bill. /sigh
Anywho – it’s late, I am tired (and very disappointed) and I am going to bed.
