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!
