Goodbye My Sweet Brick

After 4+ years of using the same awful phone, I’ve finally moved into the 21st century. I no longer have the classic Saved by the Bell cell phone, pictured below.

The Brick

Everyone in my family got their phone upgraded to the LG VX3200. It’s pretty basic (no camera or bluetooth), but it’s a lot lighter and smaller than the old phone. It’s also flip style, which is much better than the older style.

New Hotness New Hotness

No more blushing when I reach to pull my phone out of my pocket in mixed company.

Tiger Frustration Alleviation

My sadness quickly turned into rage last night because I wouldn’t have my toy this weekend. I read at several places, including Macworld’s forums that if you didn’t get your copy of Tiger on time, you could call Apple to get one of three things for free.

  • iLife ‘05
  • iWork
  • $30 Apple Store coupon

Finding this out, I called up and they promptly offered me iLife ‘05. I didn’t hear him offer the other two options, but personally, I didn’t care as that was what I wanted anyway.

So, for any of you disenchanted Apple fans that expected your copy on Friday and didn’t get it, call Apple up and see if you can collect on some free stuff.
