iPhone was worth the wait

Was it really worth the wait? I would have to say heck yea. I’ve been playing with it over the weekend and I can not put it down. I’m a web designer so I live on the internet. Anywhere I can get WiFi access, I’m giddy.

I was waiting in line with my 2 year old daughter (sorry Amily for putting you through that). We waited at the AT&T store in Carpentersville for an hour and a half. Amily did not like that one bit. Finally, we were near the door and I was sure I’m going to get it that day. The store guy came out and said they were sold out, but we can order it and get it before the store. Bogus! I was so mad, but I signed up anyway, just in case they run out at the Apple store. After that, I took Amily home, so she can rest for a bit. I called the Apple store in Woodfield and they said they still have a couple left and there was no line. I packed Amily up, who was already set to go to bed. “Where are we going daddy? I want to go sleep!” she said. Sorry, sweetie, daddy have to get the iPhone today.

We headed off to Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg, IL. Went to the Apple store and saw that it was still packed with people. We went through the path leading up to the iPhone at the genius bar and saw a wall full of iPhone. I was surprised and happy to see a ton of iPhone still left.

We went back home to activate the iPhone. It was a simple process which took 10 minutes. Most of the time was itunes accessing the AT&T account and sending the information back to the iPhone. They made it very easy for people to get activated, which is typical of Apple. I’m glad I don’t have to call any AT&T person to activate my phone this time. I’m going to have to say, I’m really satisfied with the purchase.
