The case gives my voice that silly Christian Bale gruff, I-need-a-lozenge tone.
Last week, Somara had an accident with her iPhone 4. After a couple days of trying to save it, the verdict was hopeless.
We chose to hit the local AT&T store and see what options the staff could offer us other than signing up for another two-year contract. All the fuss regarding what Apple is going to release in the near future didn’t concern us. Somara needed an operational iPhone period.
Seems that multiple carriers in America have fostered a limited amount of competition. AT&T now has an arrangement in which we got Somara and me an iPhone 5 without a new commitment. They remain a few hundred bucks but we pay them off over 20 months at zero percent interest! No penalty should we choose to contribute more than the minimum required. We did get billed for all the sales tax on them up front.
The experience did take a couple hours. The location’s point-of-purchase software refused to cooperate. We weren’t in a hurry. It was a Friday evening, the weekend was under way. The Uverse TV being left on the Food Network was torture because I had barely eaten all day. You know I was starving since I didn’t wretch during Kid Rock’s guest appearance on one show. The wonderful ladies setting us up were real troopers: Patrice and Lizette. Not once did they lose their cool. Their manager decided to give us free iPhone cases for the trouble. A nice gesture. I love it when being pleasant, nonplussed is rewarded instead of it going to jerks who blow their tops.
How do we like the iPhone 5? Still getting accustomed the larger screen and lesser weight. I was already accustomed to iOS 6 due to my iPod Touch. After getting our traditional Ghost Armor modifications, I couldn’t resist the Batman case. Later on, I will set up the appropriate generic ring tone…the Neil Hefti-based theme song!
Got a ringtone you want applied to your contact information. Let me know. Some of you have been associated with tunes incorporating your name. The ladies have such luck.
