Gretchen.

wait- do you mean that Gretchen got one and then knew how much you’d love it so she put your sim card and your phone number into it? O do you mean that you BOTH got new iPhones? Or do you mean that you’d purchased one of the first gen phones and then gave it to her as NEW when you got the 3G?

we both got new iPhones. She got white, I got black, and together we verily doth rock.

Wow…did you make sure to put it on the church credit card? We did determine that is where purchases like this go…right :)

Oh…now that I have 2 babies sleeping through the night, I actually have a minute or 2 to catch your blog again…I’ve missed it!

Congrats on the phones. You are both so hip!

I for one, would like to congratulate Mike, self professed Apple Geek, for holding out for two years. Totally worth the wait, eh babe?

If anyone would like to come and hang out with Gretchen and her children, Michael, though present in body, is no longer with us. Addicting little suckers.

I guess I won’t have to listen to your Sunday message after all. I can now see “The secret of contentment”

It’s about time!

I can’t help but smile for you guys. At our apartment, iPhone is referred to like another household member.

“Ask iPhone to find the store.”
“Does iPhone know their phone number?”
“iPhone, make me a cup of coffee.”

Happy trails with the new phone, playing with it until who-knows-what-hour… remember to sleep!

I am a secret reader of this here blog, but haven’t posted. I can’t resist in this case. Mike, you look like a kid in a candy store. You look like this is the happiest day of your life. I literally laugh out loud when I look a this picture. I don’t care who you are, it’s impossible to not at least smile at this picture.

Doug, that was just funny. Michael, is it true you asked Steve Jobs into your heart and to forgive your sins?

I am just jealous because my iPhone cost 2X more and is half the speed. Crap!

You guys suck.

Both our stupid phones are dying a slow death (mine won’t charge half the time, and June’s randomly dials people), and our dang Verizon plan doesn’t run out until March. I figure when the early termination fee drops below the cost of buying new cheap phones, it’ll be time to spring for a couple iPhones and a switch to AT&T.

I am getting a new phone tomorrow. Yeah, my verizon is up for renewal. After my razor died from water I had to go back to my old phone (that holds a charge for all of 3 hours). My new one will be cool but no where near as cool as yours…..

Actually Mike… your phone dialed me randomly yesterday afternoon. I heard you and G and the kids, and shouted at you repeatedly, but to no avail.

Good thing it wasn’t family drinking time. That would have been awkward.

Am I the last human on earth without a cell phone? I wonder how long I can pull this off.

Im sorta jealous.

Sharolyn… you are LEGEND

I forgot to say that I agree with Leonard - Doug, you made me LOL. :)

Alex:
We do the same in our house. It’s not unusual for Beth and I to be sitting side by side performing the same operations on our iPhones. We say we’re doing it to check to see if the 3G is actually faster, but the truth is that we’re both just fiddling with our techno-dingles. And we refer to them reverently as if they’re the first handheld communication device invented- and as a result, get the honor of having the brand name (proper noun) become the object name (improper noun) like crayons, kleenex, and xerox.

This morning at the gym I saw an infomercial for a purse that came with a free key chain. The key chain contains a message-to-self feature that digitally records your voice, “NO TAPE NEEDED”.

Wouldn’t that be funny if there was tape needed?
