As many of you know, I'm not a big follower. I hate bandwagons and all that they entail. But, much to my chagrin and to Anto's delight, I have become one of those blasted iPhone owners. I readily admit, though, that the best app EVER is Shazam. Hands down, it is amazing. If they had stock, I'd buy it. Wait. Do they?
Anyway, so I have this new iPhone, and I don't quite understand all the hoopla. I've got the previous iPhone users who tell me it IS way better than previous versions. OK, cool! I like it, it's fast, I can find all the free apps I want (except for good, low-carb breakfast recipes...), AND I haven't had any issues with it other than some glitches in the notepad and email. Minor things compared to what everyone has been complaining about.
We picked up my phone the day before the big press conference about the case. The guy that helped us out, even then, told us that the case was imperative. I'm thinking, cool! Two birds with one stone! No dropped calls AND protection when I inevitably drop the phone (hopefully NOT in the toilet). But he said something else that I think everyone needs to remember. Ever since the inception of the iPhone, if you hold it some freaky upside-down way, you're going to lose signal. You're basically touching the antenna. And then, of course, I love that Steve Jobs pointed out that if you hold ANY smartphone around THEIR antenna, they do the same thing.
So for as much as I've resisted Apple and anything related, I think Apple-1, other cell companies-0. Don't be haters. Just come up with something that allows you to hold the phone any crazy way you want, under water, and STILL keeps a signal. You figure THAT out? I'll be the first in line for sure.
Did you just go to the store and buy one, just like that? Did you go to Apple or AT&T? I've had my name on the Apple Store waiting list for forever, and it STILL has not come in. We are upgrading from the 3G.
ReplyDeleteShazam is awesome. I use it all the time.
Yeah, we went to an AT&T store to add me to Anto's plan so that we could be on a family plan. I had to order it, but it came in about a week later! Maybe the AT&T store would work better for you as well???
ReplyDeleteI LOVE LOVE LOVE Shazam!!! :)
