My New iPhone 3G

July 11th, 2008 · No Comments · mac, review, technology

Yes. I got one. Spent total of six and a half hours. Worth it? Yes. Weather was nice, a little hot but not too much. Apple staff were very nice. Especially Alex — She worked the line. Gave out (free) water, candy, went to get sunblock and more candy, even picked up a pizza for [...]
