We got an iPhone! Saturday night we went into NYC to meet my cousin for dinner. Afterwards we went to the Apple store on 5th Avenue to see if there were any iPhones left.

The store is absolutely beautiful. At street level it is a huge modern glass cube. Then you descend a clear lucite spiral staircase to an underground minimalist techno mecca. I was really impressed with the design of the store.

Brian and I got helped right away even though there were swarms of people in there at 11pm. The store is open 24 hours a day 365 days a year. They even have djs spinning music on Friday nights from 12-2am.

Me and the new iPhone on the train ride home

It took about 12 hours to get the phone activated through AT&T. Brian spent Sunday figuring out all of its bells and whistles. He loaded about 1500 songs and a bunch of photos on it. It is really easy to view the internet. The picture is clear and sharp, not a condensed version. The pages load quickly too. You can double tap the screen to enlarge it and you run your finger across the screen to read it like a book. Neato!

If there is a phone number or email in an article, you just double click it and it calls the number or emails the person. Wow!

We really like the new iPhone. Brian thinks it is the sexiest phone ever! I agree.
