Day 4 - I get a new phone!

Today is a wonderful day, for I am getting a brand new iPhone.

"What, an iPhone" you say? Yes, I say, an iPhone. Although the reasons for this are very calculated: I cannot possibly sell my iPhone in its current state, so I need to get another one. You see, since IMO the iPhone has questionable build deficiencies, I, quite like many others, have had my dock port crack. It's not major, and it wouldn't have rendered the phone useless (maybe in time it would have) but it shouldn't have happened. I have a case, I coddle it, but it's just built wrong with stress points like that.

The real pisser though was one day, out of nowhere, I got a massive injection of dust under the screen. Not sure how that happened, but we're talking about 25 reasonable sized particles. Super annoying and it would have made the phone a bit more difficult to sell, that's for sure. Soo, I went to the store and replaced it for the crack, got a new one that didn't have any dust issues either.

Apple, you suck with how closed you are and your refusal to catch up with the rest of the mobile world that has been passing you by for the last 2 years, but your support is top notch.

Other than that things went well. I downloaded a new podcast (Shout out to Android Central) and had it on my phone in literally 10 seconds. Ahh I love it. Oh and this was on my new 16GB micro SD card I picked up for about 50 bucks. Not a bad price given the size, and I like that I got to decide how much space I wanted, and not pay $100 between the differences. This also means I'm probably going to keep the phone :)

Edited later:

Had a problem with the bluetooth though. I didn't get any audio in my car when I made or received a call. Turned it on and off a few times during a call and it seems to have done the trick. That's just not going to fly in this day and age, and it looks like others have had similar issues with their car after one of the more recent updates. Come on guys, fix this.
