Yep last last Friday I got my hands on a shiny new iPhone 4s! Actually got it on release day! Who would have thought. Now I am finally entering the 21st Century with a smart phone. It is amazing how many smart phones there are now and how it is nearly impossible to get a non smart phone now when you renw your cell phone contract.
OK funny back story. Nick preordered my iphone through a local small verizon store. They could not guarantee him a date that it would be in, but within the week of release day, not bad since I needed to sign a new contract and all and didn't want to stand in line. So the day before it was released, October 13, I was sitting at my desk. I went to grab my metal water bottle. Forgot to put the lid on right. It fell on my LG Dare (touchscreen) and shattered the screen. Panic mode. WTF, I am supposed to get a new phone within the week and now I have an unusable phone. So went home to get Nick's replacement phone (we did have insurance, but didn't want to pay $50 to get a new phone when I would be getting one soonish anyways). Got that POS activated so at least I could make and receive phone calls. One day with that texting phone and I was DONE. Luckily to my surprise, that wonderful Friday afternoon got a call that they had the iPhones in! I rushed out of work and got the last black iPhone 16G! I knew if I didn't replace my broken phone I would not get the iPhone for a week. But if I replaced it then I would get tit quickly (it worked!)
I am loving my wonderful slice of technology! So pretty. So light. Smaller than my old phone. Easy to use. Siri is kind of fun and has some great easter eggs in it.
I have not bought any applications yet. But have a small amount of free ones (angry birds, facebook, pandora, grocery iq, skype, falling stars).
And I have a new favorite app! Grocery iQ. I have multiple lists on it. One for the grocery store, One for Target, One for the craft store. And I can sign in online on my computer and edit my list there, organize the sections of the list to make shopping faster. And I can share it too! Now to get my husband to download it on his android. It even has links to coupons.com so you have your coupons with you (have not used this yet). OK closer look looks like you can't. D'OH.
I am thinking of getting the Target app since I am there so often. They always have great coupons too and would be able to actually possibly maybe have coupons to use.
Have any other good apps for me to get?
