Bought My iPhone!

I didn’t get it from AT&T or even the Apple store – I bought it from a little electronics booth at a flea market yesterday.

Apparently it came from a guy who knows a guy at Apple. So, I was able to buy it a day early!

It’s much larger than I expected, though it’s also remarkably smudge-free and VERY durable. Also, the red case is a bit different than described. But it is cool the 4 AA batteries are easily user-installable.

So far I haven’t been able to figure out how to make a call, or sync it to iTunes, or even take a photo with the camera. I don’t even see where the camera is on my big red iPhone.

However, I have been able to play some of the built in games, such as tic-tac-toe and Mindbender. I didn’t see games listed as a feature of the iPhone – I suppose they’re an easter egg.

Another winner from Apple!
