A New Phone :)

In December 2010, when I was home, Pops gave me his old iPhone 3G to have since he had recently upgraded to the new iPhone 4. This "new" (to me) iPhone 3G was worlds ahead of my little track phone I was using here, and I promptly had a friend jailbreak and unlock it for me.

However, since I had never had a jailbroken and unlocked phone, I didn't know that the friend did it wrong. There were glitches--I couldn't run more than one app at a time, and if I tried, the whole thing would have to restart. It was quite annoying but I got used to it.

However, about three weeks ago, I tried to restore the phone since the lock button wasn't working, and I couldn't turn it on or off.

And the phone died.

Like, it would not turn on, or respond, or anything.

Uh oh.

I gave it to a friend from work to try to fix, since she said her husband could probably fix it. Five days later, he had tried just about everything, and still couldn't get it to work. Bummer.

So she let me borrow an old track phone of hers until I could get a new phone and figure out what to do. I promptly sold my broken iPhone on the Aviano Classifieds page for $75 and Arron told me I could order the new iPhone 4S.

WHAAAAT!?!? Suh-weet!

So on Monday it finally came in the mail, and I am in heaven. Siri is hilarious, and very helpful... when she wants to be:

 Siri told me the best way to walk to Rome.

She also helped me with some of my summer curricula for work. 

It's also nice to have a camera always on hand to grab pictures of everyday things that happen...
 Imagining my ice cream is Blue Bell... the way it is in Texas.

My car hit 126K early this morning!

That's all for now, but be on the lookout for more pictures and now even some videos!!
