Got My iPhone 4S

iphone 4s box

Yes I was able to score an iPhone 4s and it was so much easier then i thought.

So this morning I checked if my phone provider had any news about where my preorderd iPhone was. And no there was no news I was still in the 2600 on the list. And that meant that no phone for me in Canada yet.

So I went to work for a little while and at 8.30 I went to see if there was an iPhone out there with my name on it.

I stopped at the first mall I passed that I knew had an fido store this was at 8.45 there where two people sitting on a bench next to the store so I assumed they where in line for an iPhone and the store didn’t open yet, but no they where the store staff waiting for customers.

They opened early for the iPhone introduction but nobody showed yet I was the first customer. They had about 50 iPhones and the 32GB version in black they had two of witch one was the one i took.

Getting the thing activated costed them more then an hour as the system of fido was so busy that most stores got problems. In the waiting time one other person came and asked for an iPhone but didn’t buy and that was it.

So my new iPhone is amazing and it’s so fun to see how well iCloud works. I left the store with all my contacts and calendar all synced up through the cloud.

For me there will be no preordering any more this is so much easier then the hassle of trying to preorder and then not getting it on time.

Preorder Apple Products

The iPhone 4S

So after being a silent site for 9 days in honour of Steve Jobs today we are back.

And let me tell you we will see more Apple related products over the next while but of course there will be other stuff to.

But today no new gadget just a little post about preordering.

As an Apple fan boy I of course can not wait to get my new gadgets quickly after launch. And today means that I really want to get the iPhone 4S.

So to make sure I would get one I looked at all my options even before we where able to preorder and decided to stay with my current carrier Fido (Canada) as there offered me a pretty good deal on a new plan and I am up for renewal so I would get the phone for a good price.

Preording at Fido only worked online or let me say should have worked as it took me almost 5 hours to get my preorder in. I ordered a black 32Gb 4S and ended up being 2842 on the list to me not a huge number specially because this is a preorder system between Fido and Rogers Canada wide.

But when I write this post (October 13 at 8PM) I have learned that I am now 2659 on the list and my phone is not shipped yet and my order is not even in process. So that would mean that for preorder less then 200 phone where available on day one, or at least that is what the numbers tell me.

But then now i read that the Fido stores will have stock. So I guess that I will have to line up again and see if i will be lucky and get a new phone. But at this point in time i doubt it 🙁 It is that Fido has Fido dollars that I collected over my previous contract that i can use to buy this phone other wise i would definitely have lined up somewhere else.

To me this is the second time that I am unlucky with preordering.

The first time was the iPad release I ordered my iPad online in the middle of the night at the Apple website to be sure I would get one.

But no luck something went wrong and Apple send me a email the morning of release in Canada saying that the shipment was delayed.

So then of course I ran to the Apple store and ended up in line for hours but luckily ended up with the iPad i wanted. And soon after the ordered one arrived witch i then sold for a nice profit.

But I am now done with preordering if this is the way it works. I guess if you don’t mind waiting then this could be the way to go but if you are like me then this system is not sure thing of getting the product on release day.

So when you read this post I will be once again be lined up but this time at a mobile phone carrier that probably has not many pieces so lets hope i am lucky.

You all will know when I have my new iPhone and lets hope it is soon.

Steve Jobs RIP

Steve Jobs Rest in Peace

Today the sad new reached us that Steve Jobs has passed away.

Let me start with wishing his family the power and strength they will need in the coming days, weeks, month and years to get over this loss.

It’s hard to write about someone you never met but still have such and admiration for.

For me Steve Job was a visionary who wanted the best products out there that would change the world.

And this is what he did for me.

My first contact with an Apple product (a Macintosh i believe) was like 28 years ago. Then still a kid this product looked amazing to me but my dad decided to get a PC.

After worked in the computer industry for years. I finally got sick of the inferior products hardware and software products and in 2007 I bought my first Mac. It was a Macbook Pro witch I today still use almost everyday. Since that first day that I used my Apple computer I never looked back.

This amazing product with amazing software that just worked and worked all the time.

From the first Mac to now having and iMac, iPhone, Apple TV and a Nano there was just happiness while using these devices. Something I rarely found while still using pc’s.

And for me this was all thanks to Steve Jobs a leader and visionary who lead his team and company to great heights witch as we all know did not go so easy but he did it any way.

Steve seemed to have his way of doing things and did not want to cut corners if that would go over the head of us the faithful users.

So long Steve Rest in Piece, you will be missed but you will be remembered.

 

Cool Usb Toys will in respect to Steve Jobs not do any new post till october 14th 2011 the day the new iPhone 4S comes out a device that becomes the last iPhone that we know Steve had a great say in.
I am sure the Apple will have a great future as long as they follow the system that Steve Jobs put in place, and wish them all the best.
