Stuck with the iPhone
Of course. When I'm hating the iPhone the most and fed up with how terrible of a device it really is, there's nothing that I can do about it. I tried to get away from it. I just got back from the local T-Mobile store with a brand new G1, but of course that can't work out. Unfortunately T-Mobile's 3g coverage in my apartment is abysmal. Their website said that I would get 3 bars of coverage, but I'm lucky to hang on to 2 and usually see just 1. Fantastic.
I guess I'm just destined to live with a subpar device that's proven to be unreliable, over-hyped, and flat out boring. I haven't even used the thing in about 3 days. It's been sitting in my pant's pocket wherever I go and I can't be bothered to take it out. The most usage it's seen is when I took it out to show my background to my boss (it's a picture of my dog) when he asked about the physical picture of my dog on my desk at work. I'm too frustrated with it to care enough to charge it, and it's probably dead right now. I think I read somewhere that there's an update out for it, but it's too much trouble to update it. My RSS reader has been purged of all iPhone and Apple-related feeds. Really, I'm done.
The $30 a month I'm paying for data is cheaper everywhere else and feels like a waste on AT&T. Maybe I should cancel the data plan and use the money I save over the coming months to get a junker phone that is normally free with new service. Since I don't qualify for an upgrade, it'll probably cost me a couple hundred dollars or so. Thanks Apple. Maybe I should send them a bill... oh, and I should ask for a refund of Apple Care while I'm at it. I'll never get my money's worth since it seems like all of their iPhones are defective. I'm already on my second replacement unit.
