Wanted: iPhone 4

I have been waiting now for two weeks.

TWO WEEKS.

I'm not a patient person when it comes to waiting for stuff. As in electronical stuff. As in my new iPhone. My old iPhone is now three years old. That's ancient in cell phone years. Like decrepitly ancient, am I right? Bravo to Apple for making such a solid phone, but now it's time to say goodbye (to all our companyyyyyyyyy.... sing it!) and move on.

BUT I CAN'T. Because I'm still waiting for an email to notify me that my phone is ready to be picked up.

ARGH.

Did I tell you that the iPhone 4 was released on June 24th? Which is the very day that I was born, oh so long ago. I mean, really, if ever there was an omen that we were meant to be together, the iP4 and I, wouldn't you think that would be it?????

Apparently not.

On June 24th, I was in Florida, in the middle of my perfect beach break. There were no Apple stores there so I wandered up the highway to the local WalMart, hoping to snag a phone for myself at 8am. I was third in line. But they'd only gotten two phones. TWO. I missed by one. Lame. But I went to the beach to console myself and felt perfectly peachy after that.

Except now I'm still waiting on the 14th of July. Really Apple???

Dear Apple,

I'm not a happy camper.

I've been on this voyage through the last month minus my sparkly new iPhone 4 and I WAAAAAAANNNT it now. Please. Pretty please?

Will you please oh please oh please send me an email from my very own downtown Walnut Creek Apple store telling me that I can come in and pick up my telefonino?

This weekend my veerrrrrrry old 1st generation iPhone (hearts and kisses to the dear old thing) got me good and lost while I was driving in the middle of nowhere with it's outdated and very slow GPS software.

I'm going to be going on a road trip in a couple of weeks and would like a functioning GPS phone feature on a fast network.

So, dear Apple, please pick up the pace.

Love,

Christy
