iPhone update Riot and beer

Some of the cool new panorama pics the iphone takes. Finished up the MN shirts at riot and got paid in beer.

New iPhone case!

Best iPhone case ever! Super thin, light and best of all, completely carbon fiber!

It has arrived!

This is the last official picture taken with my iPhone 4.

Nice day for me today! Went to Nama for lunch, headed home after lunch to wait for my packages. Only shady moment of the day was that as I approached our road the FedEx dude was driving by. I thought, "Damn it! I missed it." Assuming I had to sign for it. Then the question arose. Should I be that nutty guy that follows the FedEx dude to get a item that just can't wait (even though I had been for 3 weeks)? Well I decided against it. Pulled into the driveway and BAM! There she was sitting at the front door, my brand new iPhone 4S!

I also had a package coming UPS the same day. I thought it'd be funny for them both to show up at the same time and pull an old western style shooting out to get me my package first. But alias, they were about 2 hours apart.

I also had a delivery from USPS, the trifecta!

iPhone 4S...preoredered!

Travis and I met up with Ben today to put in our order for the latest and greatest iphone. I opted for a white one this time. Really looking forward to it. Can't wait to have Siri in my life!

White iPhone 4 finally!

Mary finally got a new phone. She was long over do! Got the whitey iPhone 4 the day it was released. Thanks Ben!

3rd iPhones a charm... I hope

Finally went to apple to figure out what was up with my camera. They were out of camera repair kits so I got a new one. My 3rd iPhone 4!

Bye bye pinky

After almost 2 weeks of using Mary's super old Sony Ericsson I finally got back into an iphone. You can see the sim card I had to cut to fit a micro sim card in to use it. iPhones are the ONLY phone AT&T carries that uses a micro! I'm still a little shocked it worked!

iPhone 4 done...

Early early am, after my alarm goes off I notice a slight film of water surrounding my phone. Condensation from a cup of water on my bedside table had found my way to it. All morning I was getting the "Accessory is not optimized for the iPhone" warning without it being plugged in. Finally is randomly stopped. Once home I went to back it up just in case. Nothing. The computer did recognize it nah did the iPhone know it was plugged in.

I was planned to pick up and transport Mary and crew for a bachelorette party at 9:30. So I decided to got the Apple store and see whats up. I also wanted to buy a new Nano. Once there they fit me in and I bought the Nano. Thing looked awesome and came in a super small package. The Mac genius takes a look at my dock connector and says, "Yeah I thought so, have a look." Hands me a magnified light to check out the connector. Corrosion, and it's all over it. Also the moisture indicator was slightly turned.

Outside of warranty and easily replaced for $199. There is no way to recovery data I was told, so at least 600 images are lost, the panic sets in. I went and got my computer and sat at a table in the apple store looking for ways to move images. Found a few but it only transferred one at a time. That and emailing just aren't going to work.

After spending time at Apple and Starbucks it was time to pick up the girls. After dropping off 6 chicks downtown I headed home in the diamante leaving the S for Mary to drive at Alicia's. I get to Cate Rd and the passanger side front tire just goes completely flat. It's after 10:30 when I get home. I hadn't had dinner, freaking about my phone and had to put on the spare. Had dinner, researched the phone, changed the tire, picked for the bachelor party and got in bed at 1:45am with the alarm set for 5am.

In my research I found out I could order an OEM dock connector on ebay and replace it myself. So it's on order and I also ordered all the necessary tools for disassembly.

Great day! US advances and iPhone 4!

Rolled to Soccer Taco today around 9:15am to catch the US and England cup games. What a nail bitter! After another goal that was called back we went into the half tied 0-0. England had put a goal up on Slovenia. If things stand Slovenia and England would advance to round 2 leaving US to finish 3rd in the group. We played well and had numerous changes to bury it. In the 93rd minute a breakaway that looked similar to a few before it took place. Donavon passes to Altidore and he rips a shot...blocked...Donavon, like any good player follows the play. Him and the ball are left wide open...him, the ball and the back of the net. Soccer Taco erupts as the ball meets the back of the net! A minute left in the game, England game over with a victory we secure the win. It brought tears to my eyes, it was just incredible!

During the game I check FedEx.com a few times in hopes of an update on where my iPhone 4 was, nothing. So I headed home after the game. I pull into the complex as the FedEx guy pulls out. You think I missed him and didn't get it? Nope! I left a pre-signed notification on the front door for him to just leave it!

Apple Store - Your iPhone will deliver on June 23rd

Email I received this morning!

"Dear Apple Store Customer,

You recently received a Shipment Notification email from Apple advising you that your iPhone has shipped.

This email is to confirm that your delivery will occur on June 23rd."

How awesome is that? Apparently they are trying to lighten the load of activations on AT&Ts system on the launch date. Whatever the reason, who cares, I get my iPhone4 tomorrow!

Pre-ordered iPhone4

The pre-orders for the iPhone4 started today. Their system was down for a while but I got my order in. Apple decided to not let the public know the white one wasn't available until the morning of pre-order. Mary really wants the white one so she decided to hold out.

It has since shipped and will be at my door on the 24th!

Mary broke her iPhone...

...but I fixed it! :) She dropped it right on the top corner button. It jammed it up in the case. I figured I could take the back off and fix it. Well, after the long process of getting the thing apart I came to the conclusion it was toast. The button had jammed into the case and was stuck/broken. I then remembered we still had my original one, the one that got sunk in the tub! I went though the long process again of removing the back and transferred it to the new one. It took forever to get the thing back together, but I got it and it works great.
