gizmo Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I have been standing in line for the past hour to get an iPhone 4. I have no idea what brain rot has possessed me to drag my children to the busiest part of town to spend two glourious hours standing in line to buy a simple phone That I Have To Pay For!!! Hopefully they don't run out by the time I get up to the front. I'll probably cry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizmo Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 Well, three hours in line at the Apple store bought me a move forward of about 25 feet. I was in the slave "you have not golden registration" line. So I said Fuck It and went to a couple of different stores close to my house, and found a small AT&T independant distributor with a couple of phones. I happily drove there and bought my phone. The only bummers I have right now are cosmetic. They have not made any full cover protectors for the device yet, beond some cheap giggly plasic bumpers. I asked abou screen proectors, and the Apple dude said the screen is a special glass that you can bend and is scratch resistant. Maybe so, but I still want that protection just in case. And a stylish cover. Not one I buy now until the one I want later comes around. The screen resolution really is amazing. I watch a lot of TV episodes in bed when I can't sleep at night, and this will be awesome for it. I'm synching all my old stuff with the iPhone 4 now, so I'll know more about the speed and battery efficiency by tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nalgas Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I asked abou screen proectors, and the Apple dude said the screen is a special glass that you can bend and is scratch resistant. I haven't specifically looked at what they use in the iPhone, but that wouldn't surprise me if it's true. I know some other new phones are using treated glass that's pretty much impossible to damage under normal conditions. I've seen videos of people stabbing and scraping them repeatedly with keys, coins, razors, and screws with absolutely no effect whatsoever. I'm sure you'd have no problem putting a nice line through it with a diamond or something else unusually hard/abrasive, but if they do use that kind of glass in it, you're not going to hurt it just sticking it in your pocket/bag with your other stuff.

vanderk Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 A word of caution to an artsy/craftsy type like Gizmo. Check all possible pockets and bags that this sucka could land into. You may be packing a vial of hydrofluoric acid for glass etching. Never know where those things end up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 Ha! You crack me up van derk! I actually laughed out loud at the nail salon... Looked a bit goofy, I must say! I got a screen protector this morning at the mall with my cover. I hate my plain cover... Can't wait for the fancy ones to come out. But no scratches for now for me!

ChemistryExperiment Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 Oh, I soooo want an iPhone.... I just can't justify the money to pay for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudpuppy Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 They used gorilla glass for the 4. I'm a clumsy motherfucker and haven't managed to break, scratch or otherwise damage mine yet. My 3G has an awesome dent and chip on the bottom edge from one of the more epic "oh fuck, I missed the pocket, it fell three feet to the ground, skittered halfway across the driveway, and then was accidentally kicked into the street during my fumbling to snatch it up while balancing my coffee, keys and other assorted crap, is that a bird? this coffee is hot. i should have gotten a sleeve. i should hurry up and go inside so i can set it down." Three hours later... "Where the fuck is my iPhone?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only laugh because I've done many similar things... thats how I've managed to go through 4 phones in the past year. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
