Happy news! Looks like after hours of effort, AT&T is going to send a new iPhone overnight. Not to short Apple, one of their regional managers talked to me on the phone and wasn’t an ass (the first…
iPhone 4: good, bad, ugly →
I got my iPhone 4 today, a day early, like lots of other folks. Unlike lots of other folks I haven’t had any problems with it except that Hipstamatic freezes up on me. My boyfriend has…
