1:30pm: LG phone confirmed dead on arrival at Verizon Wireless.
3:00pm: iPhone purchased from Apple Store downstairs from Verizon.
4:30pm: synched music.
7:00pm: downloaded OpenTable, Yelp, Now Playing, Frotz, Pandora, TouchTerm, Midomi, Urbanspoon, Labyrinth, Burning Tires Lite, Lightsaber, Public Radio, Radioparadise, Google Apps Pack, LiveJournal.app, Dice Bag, and Facebook apps.
12:30am: successfully exported contact list from old phone.
10:00am: imported contact list into new phone.
2:00pm: downloaded iPhone SDK.

(Go ahead.  Look surprised.  I dare you.)

Edit: per fj's query, yes, I ported the old number. You do not need to update your contact lists.

Unless, of course, I wasn't in your contact list before. If that's the case, then you should. Except if the reason I wasn't in your contact list is that you don't actually like me that much in the first place. And if that's the case -- why are you even reading this? Is it just to taunt me? Is that it? You like being cruel? Don't you have better things to do? Are you proud of yourself now? Huh? Are you? So maybe you could do us all a favor and just defriend me. I don't care anyway. Knock yourself out. Truth is, I don't like you either. I've never liked you that much. You can be a real son of a bitch sometimes, and I've put up with it for a long time, but no more, you hear me? You hear me out there? Do you? Huh? Do you?

... sorry, what were we talking about?

Was number transferred?

[qwrrty.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the number porting was surprisingly efficient. He warned me that it might take up to 6 hours for the phone to get my old number, but I had it within 1-2 hours.

hee! :)

So are you guys now officially switched over to AT&T and all that jazz?

[qwrrty.livejournal.com]

I am! Ellen is waiting to see how AT&T reception is at our house before the takes the plunge. (So far, okay...)

[fj.livejournal.com]

If it is awful, AT&T will release 3G home picocell to use over broadband soon.

[jacflash.livejournal.com]

Any idea how soon? Mine's awful and I'm an AT&T customer.

Site's up, trials are in the field, pricing not established.

Incredibly efficient of you!

One of us... one of us...

darn, beaten to it

[noeltheone.livejournal.com]

I'm worn out just reading this.

Also, one more lost to the Dark Side.

I'M SORRY, I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE SOUND OF HOW AWESOME MY IPHONE IS.

And that hammer mark on the back of the LG phone? Pure coincidence, truly.

Welcome to the hive mind.

[qwrrty.livejournal.com]

I TOTALLY went to the Verizon store and EVERYTHING.

They told me I had to buy a new handset.

So I said, "okay!"

[ifman.livejournal.com]

Welcome to the club! We beat you just by a couple of weeks.

You took almost 24 hours after buying the phone to download the SDK? I would have expected it to be right after you went app-crazy.

Fortunately or unfortunately, I do still have a life -- spent two hours this morning alone playing AD&D with the boys.

Anyway, with the phone, most of my attention last night and this morning were actually on getting my contact list transferred. (BitPIM (http://www.bitpim.org/) for the win, as usual. I was very lucky that it was able to sync my old phone with over Bluetooth.)

Waaa! I have to wait 'til April. *pout* *jealouses*

(Why? Because I'm already a loyal AT&T customer, which means I get to pay $200 MORE for my iPhone -- aka "full retail discount price" -- until 2 yrs have passed since my last phone purchase. April 29th is the magic date. Asshats.)

I've been waiting a year and a half to make this switch because of VZW contract madness. If I cancelled my plan before two years were up I'd owe them $250. Really, I'd be happy if they all just withered up and died and treated wireless coverage as a commodity.
