Yes, It Has Landed

My source called me around noon today to let me know that our local AT&T did, in fact, receive a shipment of iPhones — which is the first shipment they've received since the original July 11 release. Luckily, I was already in the area, so I was able to run over and get mine before they sold out. Getting on the "pre-order" list was the best the local shop could do, as they aren't allowed to hold iPhones for anyone — so I'm glad my contact came through with the tipoff. I showed up before they even started checking them in, and by the time I left, they only had 2 white and 1 black iPhone left (out of an original shipment of 10).

I opted for the black 16GB model so that I could at least carry my main iTunes playlist (which is only 8.52GB) and still having plenty of room for Lord knows what. So far, I really like it — but I'm still transferring contacts, email accounts, iTunes tracks, etc., so I haven't really been able to dive into the features. I do hope there some way to permanently set the local area code, because I already hate having to dial it when making a local call. Of course, if I have my Contacts setup properly, I'll rarely have to dial anyone's number — but ti's an annoyance nonetheless (so far).

So for now, I really like the iPhone, and I'm sure I'll like even more once I "think different" on what all a "phone" can do for me.
