Phones & AppsSo I’ve come to a situation with my phone (to be explained later) that has all but required me to root it. Well, basically it HAS required me to root it because I have yet to find an actual solution that doesn’t involve rooting. Anyway… I’ve been reading root info and stuff for the last few weeks and all I can say is that the way these people write these things, it doesn’t seem as [...]

Random ThoughtsWith the addition of a 4th line on my AT&T bill, I’ve started to really look at the data usage and how much I’m paying for it. With all 4 of these phones being iPhones, each one requires a data plan. And since we’re not heavy users and also not light data users, the 200mb plan is a bit too little… but the 2gb plan is a bit too much. Where’s my Goldilocks plan? It’s [...]

Random ThoughtsI don’t know if there’s just a problem with my account or what… but AT&T is kind of pissing me off. I was in the area of an AT&T store today and after yesterday’s phone debacle, I figured it best to just stop by and order the phone in person. Can’t be that bad, right? Wrong. The girl helping me was very nice… I explained that the website wouldn’t let me add a line and [...]

Random ThoughtsTrying to add an additional line to my account tonight… apparently AT&T doesn’t want my money. I (did) have the 550 family talk plan and was trying to add an additional line to that – apparently that is not possible as that plan has a 3 line limit (wtf?). I was getting a message that said there was a “Unidentified Problem” with my account. O rly? How do you know there’s a problem if you [...]

Random ThoughtsHappened to read a story on Engadget today about AT&T planning on auto enrolling “unauthorized” tethering users in a tethering data plan… The story goes like this: People that have jailbroken their iPhone can use certain apps to enable tethering/hotspot features for free. The very same features that AT&T would like to charge its users for. Up until now, it didn’t seem like they cared too much about it (publicly at least, internally they probably [...]

Random ThoughtsAs a shock to pretty much no one, today Verizon officially announced the iPhone 4 is coming to their network. Specifically on February 10th. Get your checkbooks credit cards out… I thought I’d take this opportunity to do a little comparison between the two. What would it cost me to move all 3 of my lines (and text messaging, data plans, etc, for an iPhone 4 and 2 iPhone 3GSs) to Verizon from AT&T. Worth [...]

Phones & Apps Random ThoughtsI feel bad for those of you heading out to try and pick up an iPhone in the morning. I certainly wouldn’t want to brave those crowds. I couldn’t be happier with my preorder. This phone really is phenomenal too. The screen. The speed. The design. It’s all there. Let’s be honest though, you know that already. That’s probably why you’re going to get one. Even if you’re not going to get one (I’m sure [...]

Phones & AppsIs yours?
I don’t remember having this much trouble last year when I bought my 3GS but this was certainly what I would label an “ordeal” … if there ever were such a thing.
It’s just a preorder, right? How bad could it be? That bad.

Phones & AppsOMG! A new iPhone will probably be released this year! Oh, wait… duh. In an event that is surely one of the craziest things I’ve followed and read about, a possible “prototype” for Apple’s 4th generation iPhone (casually dubbed iPhone 4G or iPhone HD), surfaced in the real world. In a bar. From a drunk guy’s pocket. Thing is, not only did it surface there… he LOST IT THERE. Even doing “real world testing” … [...]

News StuffsGot this message in my AT&T Wireless inbox at some point recently (um, looks like 2/2 actually – shows how often I read stuff there): To further bolster support for Haiti relief workers, AT&T is waiving wireless usage charges for customers in Haiti who make/receive voice calls, use wireless data services or send text messages, in order to show our company’s support for those helping with relief efforts. The billing relief will be retroactive to [...]
