  1. Congrats Vicki.

    My Otterbox Defender case of the iPhone and iPad showed up today. They are okay but I do not think either one will be my daily carry set up. Too bulky and the crazy sticky outer rubber attracts dust and sticks in pockets. The picture of the back shows the gap around the dock door because I did not have it properly jammed into the right holes at that time.

  2. Got the new Defender Otterbox case for the iPhone. I guess it would do a good job of protecting the phone if dropped but I can't say I am a big fan of it or the iPad one that also came today. The sticky black outer rubber layer gives great grip but makes them a dust magnet and hard to remove from a pocket. I guess I might have to use the giant freakin holster that came with it if it gets too bad.

  3. That CNET test showed the T-Mobile service being pretty good in Manhattan.

    We had t-Mobile BBs at work for a short time and they were okay in NYC but really sorry wherever I traveled.

    I have still found nowhere in the area that I do not have fantastic AT&T service.

  4. Decided to order the iPhone Otterbox Defender case to go with the matching iPad case I ordered last week. Their website must have been inundated with orders as it was flaky as hell and when I submitted my order it kept telling me the shipping price had changed since I added the item to my cart so the order did not go through. I of course kept trying until I finally got a successful order page.

    Thinking all was well I went on with my day until a few minutes later when I get several e-mails on the iPad telling me about the 6 different orders I managed to make of this stupid case. Replied to one of the e-mails as their 888 number seems to be constant busy signal so I will see how this works out.

    I might end up down on the street with the purse and watch sales guys trying to sell my extra cases if Otterbox does not come around and fix my orders.

  5. Not any less scientific than the videos that started all the crying about the iPhone.

    Tried it holding the iPhone and the Incredible at the office and the Incredible dropped one bar almost immediately when held on the bottom and the iPhone did nothing when doing the "death grip". Several tests showing the same occurrence with several other phones but I guess since all those phones together will not sell as many this year as the iPhone did in the first weekend it is not a big deal. ;)

  6. I tried the update tonight as I could not leave the iPhone plugged in to charge as it kept syncing over and over again. Of course the install failed so I had to restore the phone completely as it got stuck in the update screen and giving me the error 9 that everyone has been getting. Restoring everything now. Pretty miserable software update but I did notice it also updated firmware during the process.

  7. Activated the Head-Case Fantasy Football League for our second season.

    Anyone looking to join the group and have a little fun this season let me know and I will sign you up.

    We already have the top four teams from 2009, and Dinny :P, signed up to play this year.

  8. I would theoretically think that the left handed people would be the greatest affected by the flaw as they will typically cup the phone in their hand bridging the two elements.

    I have several cases now as I am not one of the "its too pretty to cover" people so I shouldn't have that problem anywhere I go.

  9. Over 800 minutes of talk time on my iPhone 4 without a single dropped call. Maybe guaranteed to get fucked is a bit of hyperbole to prove your point but I have not had any issues and have a 3G network here in NYC that is far faster than the competitors (Verizon, Sprint) I have seen.

    I have also not found much use for Multitasking. One time in the car while using the GPS and playing music through the stereo but outside of that I cannot think of any times I have actively used multitasking.

    The 3Gs in my office with ios4 that I played with was very fast and seemed to work great. The two 3G phones with the upgrade not so much.

  10. I am going to try to make it this year. I am looking for another Marriott in the area as the event Hotel appears to be booked. I am trying to do the flight, rental car, hotel all with points but will probably wait to see if a HC hotel choice comes to fruition.
