Christopher Walken Touched My iPhone

iPhone

dead zone…and now it has a DEAD ZONE.

NOOOOO!!!

Quite suddenly last night, while trying to email a picture to my Flickr account, the little mail icon refused to respond to my touch. I hit the HOME button and flicked things around on the desktop. That was ok. After a while I found that the bottom 1/2 inch zone where it wouldn’t respond to touch. So I couldn’t make calls, open emails, surf web or listen to music.

I’m beside myself.

I factory restored the phone (Bye pics! Bye web favorites! Bye phone contacts!) and reinstalled the software. Nope. I searched the internet and discovered oddly enough the last reports of this being an issue was around the end of August. Even the forums are somewhat devoid of this problem so it seems isolated.

Oh lucky me.

I’m off to the Apple Store here in town to plead my case, but I doubt very much they will repair it (I didn’t buy it! It was a gift! Please! Take your son back and heal his soul!) I am already looking into American influences.

so.

cold.

Can I See some iID Please?

iPhone

My Canuck iPhone is becoming more and more exclusive!

The forumsphere (web forums, not blogs? what do we call these?) has several threads of Canadians and Mexicans being refused sales of iPhones at AT&T and Apple stores over the last 24 hours. I suspect an edict has come down upon high to start refusing non-US citizens purchase of the phones to ensure company AT&T sign ups.

1984, anyone?

Oh thank god! I thought for a moment there that I was going to be surrounded by iPhone dicks!

Don’t Tell SharkBoy

iPhone

The iPhones just came down $200 in price. Less than three months since their release. Rumour has it that Apple will offer some price protection but it’s unclear as to how far back that goes.

Meanwhile here comes the iPod Touch, looking like the poor cousin of the iPhone: no camera, no email – yet, WiFi with Safari, iTunes purchase and sync back to your PC/Mac if you buy a song using the iPod. Nifty!

So my time as having a unique cool product is at an end. And I’m painfully aware that it’s nothing more than a glorified iPod now, thanks to Rogers bloated greed. Bongo Wireless, here I come!
