Finally got my iPhone 3g...

Yesterday!  I will post pics, and a review on it probably in the next couple days...

Lunch...

I went to taco bell after work.  

...?

I went to work, moved boxes around, bought some food, and got full...

I was iphOWNED...

During work at champs, after shipment, I went to pick up my daily eatages (word to Vanessa Simmons) at Starbucks, and I saw that the Apple store just got their shipment of iPhones in for the day...  I went to purchase it, like I would normally would do if it was any other phone.  I thought (since I have the iPhone data plan), that I would be eligible for the upgrade price (300 for the 16gb iPhone), but to my knowledge, and the worker that was helping me, I wasn't eligible for the upgrade price, and I would pay 500 for the 16gb iPhone...  I had the phone in my hands, and ready to purchase, but for 500?  That is TOO much...  500 for a phone that I could buy for 200 less?  Man...

Ended up not buying the phone, but my contract has been upgraded to the iPhone 3g plan, and my old iPhone not working...  I swear, Apple doesn't know shit about At&t...  So what ended up happening was going back to the apple store, telling them what happened...  then going to the At&t kiosk, and asking them for help...  then going back to the Apple store, then back to the kiosk...  all this to get my contract back to normal...

Even with all that happening, it did NOT work...  I was without a phone, well a working phone, for about 4-5 hours...  The best thing that happened was I ended up calling At&t customer care, and they fixed just about everything (so far...) the dude on the phone was nice, and he even used to live in Kent (he works/lives in Idaho).  He helped me a lot, and he said he is going to call me back on saturday to give me an update for what is going on with the account...  I also told him about me getting the discounted price, and he is working on that for me!  Pretty dope!  The only downside to this is that I won't be able to buy the new iPhone until he calls me back, and gives me the OK for the discounted price.

All this fuss, just to get my contract back to normal...  but the bright side to it, there is a good chance I am going to get the phone with the discounted price!  Hella Filthy!

AT&T reaffirmed pricing for the iPhone 3G on Tuesday, noting that eligible customers can snag the new smartphone for a discount: $199 with an 8GB flash drive and $299 for 16GB.

AT&T will begin offering Apple's iPhone 3G at its retail stores beginning July 11 at 8 a.m. local time. AT&T is the exclusive iPhone carrier in the U.S.

Under the plan, the discounted price will be available to customers who have purchased any iPhone before July 11, who are activating a new customer line with AT&T, or who were eligible for an upgrade discount at the time of purchase. (Eligibility for an upgrade discount, the carrier said, is generally determined by amount of time remaining on a current contract and the payment history.)

To be eligible, customers must also sign a two-year contract. Apple had revealed the $199 and $299 pricing for the iPhone 3G at its Worldwide Developers Conference in June.

Those who are not eligible for an upgrade discount can buy the iPhone 3G for $399 for the 8GB model or $499 for the 16GB version. Both require a two-year contract as well.

Customers who purchase the phone without a contract will pay $599 for the 8GB version or $699 for the 16GB model.

The phones will come with the iPhone 2.0 software preloaded on the devices, which includes such business-class e-mail through Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and the iPhone Software Development Kit for creating customized applications. AT&T will also offer its Yellowpages.com Mobile for iPhone on the devices.

There will be an activation fee of either $18 for existing customers eligible for an upgrade, or $36 for new customers.

AT&T is requiring customers to activate their phones in the stores, as the carrier looks to reduce the number of customers who may try to unlock, or hack, the phones to run on other carriers' networks.

AT&T is launching four voice and unlimited data plans for the iPhone 3G.

The AT&T Nation Unlimited plan will include unlimited anytime minutes for $129.99 a month, while the AT&T Nation 450 plan includes 450 anytime minutes and 5,000 night and weekend minutes for $69.99 a month.

The carrier is also offering its Nation 1350 plan, which includes 1,350 anytime minutes for $109.99 a month, and Nation 900 plan that includes 900 anytime minutes for $89.99 per month. Both of these plans include unlimited night and weekend minutes.

And for folks who engage in tons of text messaging, AT&T is charging $5 for every 200 text messages; $15 for every 1,500 messages; and $20 for unlimited text messages.

A blast from the past...?

So weird today...  my day was going normal so far...  wake up, take a shower, go to work, the normal routine.  After work, I go to the tennis center by Franklin HS to pick up my check so I could deposit it before July 4th since the banks are closed.  Afterwords, I head over to Brian's house and chill for a while and watch about 3 or so performances of ABDC (SoReal Crew FTW!).  After that, we head over to a bar (mind you it is about 7:30 PM) and Kevin, Brian and I are weirded out because it is so early to head over to a bar... Brian tells me it is Joanna's 21st birthday, and she is at a bar so early...  haha, oh well.  Right when we head inside, this girl says straight up to me, "You are Ian right?  You called me stupid because I didn't know what Filipino was in elementary school!  You and Nino!"  So I am in my head thinking to myself, who is this girl, and how does she know me and Nino?  I sit down, chill watching the Mariners game, then she says, "Remember?  Second grade, in Tessie Wong's Class.  I'm Katrina!"  From then on, I was confused for a second... then I remember her, but I don't remember what I said...  mind you, this was I was about 8 years old...  I am 22 now.  I guess what Nino and I said really got into her mind if it was really something that happened 14 years ago...  What can I say though, I was young and stupid back then...  haha.

I Really didn't recognize her...  but how did she even remember how I looked or what not after all these years?  Did not really change?  But I could say this...  she does look good though...  :P
