I've Got An iPhone 3G

Friday July 11, 2008
I'm now the happy owner of an iPhone 3G. I haven't set it up yet (blogging obligations come first, natch!), but the process of getting it was very smooth. I went to an out-of-the-way AT&T store around 7:15 this morning and was the 7th or 8th person in line. I got into the store at about 8:30. I was out no more than 5 minutes later - it was an amazingly smooth upgrade process. They got me the phone I wanted, confirmed my plan, swapped SIM cards, activated the phone, I paid and I was done. Assuming everything with the set up goes fine, this has to be the most painless upgrade I've ever been involved with (just by virtue of its speed). More soon as I go through the set up.
