The (iphone4) Wait is Over
Sep 26th, 2010 by Rommel
After a week of waiting, my long awaited phone has arrived 
But not before a lot of anxiety leading to the day, as I have constantly asked sales rep of Globe Telecommunications to grant me 2 lines in order to make the switch. I personally wanted to switch because:
- I need push mail in my line of work, the plan I got has this
- With a data plan, I can tether my phone with my computer to stand as a backup connection in case something goes wrong
- I chose a 40 minute free international call for work purposes
- an unlimited call and text option to one number (for my wife obviously)
- who wouldn’t want an iphone 4?
I haven’t received an email stub until Friday, during the time that I am resigned to the fact that my application is denied after around 6 phone calls from different sales rep asking me for information and documents. While we are happy that we got the email stub, the email indicates that it is for 1 unit only. I know my wife wanted it so bad and she kept telling me that I can’t bear to see her not getting the phone first. Oh well, that’s what husbands to to make their wives happy.
Anyway, saturday came and i got around 3 sets of messages informing me of the date, place and requirements to get the phone. The funny thing is, I got two schedules: 1 on the 26th from 12 to 1pm and another one on the same date from 7pm to 8pm. While I only have one email confirmation, I got 2 schedules meaning I was allowed to get more than 1 line. I am not optimistic about it, but who knows maybe we can pull it through.
Sunday came and the first miracle of the day was that my wife woke up EARLY (hahaha). And while I was at work during the afternoon, she kept in touch and was so happy that we were granted 2 lines and 2 units. I can imagine “the grin” from my wife’s face as she got the units afterwards.
By my estimate it took her some 3 hours, with lunch break included, to get the phones. Not bad for a big even such as this.
As for the gadget review, check back for future posts as I have only checked out the camera only, which has flash by the way. The pictures used above were taken using an iphone4.
