IPHONE 3G DISASTER - PART II

Oh, how sweet this post shall be!!!!

I am still the only one on my block without an iPhone 3G, but I come to find out that is a good thing.

It seems that in the greediness of Apple and AT&T, most of the iPhones that were sold today were still unable to be used due to server crashes. It seems that they could not activate most of the phones due to high traffic to the servers. So they sent people home with something called an iBrick and they must try all day to see if it will be activated.

Even the old iPhone users are now the proud owner of an iBrick, since they went to update their software and it blanked out the phones and made them inoperable.

I feel sorry for the iPhone users that waited days camped out in line. I want to do something to help. So if anyone wants to make a call from my Crackberry, please let me know and I will be more than happy to........ Whoops. Hold on, I have a text message. it's my wife. She says to stop gloating and say goodbye.

IPHONE 3G DISASTER

As I am typing this, AT&T is burning me.

I am on hold with AT&T right now waiting to inform them how totally screwed they are.

Let me tell you my story:

Two weeks ago, I was told by AT&T that ANYONE could by the iPhone 3G for the $199 (8 gig) or the $299 (16 gig) price. No matter what. I was told you didn't need to be eligible for an upgrade.

One week ago, I was told sorry, Apple changed the rules. (yeah, right!). Now I am told the only people who can get the iPhone for this price are:

1. old iPhone users
2. people due for a phone upgrade
3. or non AT&T customers

Everyone else will have to pay $499 (8 gig) and $599 (16 gig).

So I called last week and complained. A supervisor told me that she would give me a complimentary upgrade so I could get the iPhone at a normal price. Thank God. Finally someone who cares about me.

NOW I AM ON THE PHONE FINDING OUT THAT THERE IS NO WAY ANYONE IS GETTING A COMPLIMETARY UPGRADE FOR THE IPHONE.

I am a long paying customer and AT&T is not taking care of me. The cell phone industry has reached it's lowest point. There is no more customer service or loyalty to your customers.

I am not angry because I can't get an iPhone tomorrow. I am angry on being lied to, misinformed, and not treated like a customer should be.

I have just hung up the phone and I am waiting for the escalations department to call me within 24 hours. I will keep you posted on my progress.

LINE STARTED FOR IPHONE 3G - ONE WEEK EARLY

I have to give credit to Engadget website. They were as shocked as I was to find out that a line has already started in New York at the Apple Store for the new iPhone 3G.

Don't get me wrong. The IP3G will be a great phone, but I want someone to interview these people who will spend a week in line waiting for the phone. They are probably the same people who have a life long dream of being on the Howard Stern Show.

Take a moment and think. These people must have personal problems, self esteem problems, no life, and are very competitive. Did I forget anything. Oh yeah, and no brains.

You couldn't pay me $1000 to stand in line for a week. So why do it for a $299 cell phone.

The good news is that stupid people breed and have more stupid people. So there are plenty of family members that will take shifts.

PRESIDENT HUSSEIN.........NOT!

Is America that crazy that we will kill Hussein one year then name a Hussein to run the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA the next year????

Why not elect John Hitler, or maybe Antonio Mussolini?

The worst part is, I like what he stands for, but can we believe he is safe to run our country???

All I can think about is how bad this would be for the USA if he was linked to other countries and we made him our President.

This is a man that won't put his hand on his heart to pledge allegiance to the flag.
This is a man who has looked up to a religious leader who wishes that God Damn America not God Bless America.
This is a man who refuses to wear a USA flag pin on his lapel.

John McCain isn't a great choice either, but at least I know he bleeds RED, WHITE and BLUE.

Check out this video clip and tell me how you feel about having a President Hussein in America.

CHEESE PLEASE!

I went to Pizza Hut for some fine Italian food. I orderd a larger stuff crust cheese pizza. I had a coupon for a free extra topping., so I told the girl at the counter that I wanted extra cheese as my one topping.

She tells me that I have to pay for extra cheese. I said no I don't. I have a coupon. She said extra cheese is not considered a topping at Pizza Hut.

I said, "WHAT?" What do you mean it's not considered a topping. It goes on top, right. Then it's a topping. Every other pizza place in the world considers extra cheese a topping. We argued for about 20 minutes.

It all came down to this. The corporation for Pizza Hut does not want to give you extra cheese as a topping so they now don't consider cheese an extra topping and you must pay for it.

I didn't even begin complaining about there being no sauce on my pizza. Is that the new thing? Putting no sauce on a pizza. It is almost embarrassing being 100% Italian and eating a pizza with no sauce. Not that I ordered it that way, but that's how it comes. Lift the cheese next time. There is one drop of sauce.

I stopped going to Papa John's pizza because I had plain bare spots on my pizza. This isn't pizza. It's just dough.

Pizza places suck out here in California. The only way to get a good pizza is to go to a nice Italian restaurant and pay $30 for a simple pizza with cheese and sauce.

As you can guess, I am now not going to Pizza Hut anymore.
