Brad’s Life

So I waited in line all day, starting at 8:00 AM. I was the first person in line at the Waco Dr. Cingular/AT&T store, and the first to walk out the door with a phone. Along the way, I met several great people, including Michael, who acutally makes his living blogging about Apple products (what a job!). He sat next to me while we waited all day.

On first impression, this phone is solid. No freezes or hangups yet, which is already a million times better than the Cingular 8525 the iPhone replaced, and it does what it does very well and…dare I say it…prettily.

Below are some unboxing images for those of you who haven’t seen what the whole shebang looks like yet.

The only feature I can say so far I’m really going to need is a way to easily turn off the email notifications when I’m asleep, while keeping the ringer active if a call comes in during the night. So far, the only thing I’ve figured out is to go into settings->sounds->New Email and turn it off, then back on in the morning, which is a little too much of a pain to be a good long-term solution. Ideas, from any other iPhone users out there?
