The phrase “Hold it different” (loosely quoted) is probably burning in your ears if you follow the technology world. That is the phrase read in an email from none other than Steve Jobs in response to the iPhone 4 reception issues caused by human touch.
Well enough is enough, after numerous dropped calls and spotty reception I have decided to start something, maybe it will have an effect on the issue. Head on over to freebumper.com, leave your twitter username and share it with others to get some exposure on this issue with an otherwise awesome phone.
All told the site from registration to uploading took about 2 hours, I love how fast DNS propagates these days. Anyways, back to the point, go and sign the “petition”.
Well after much reloading and cursing on Apples website I learned AT&T was also allowing pre-orders. I quickly headed over to their site and was welcomed by a quick and painless purchase process. Now I am just waiting for account confirmation as I am opening a new one rather than upgrading my 3GS.
I plan to write a full “post-mortem” once I receive the phone. Of course it will be arriving when i’ll be out of town, luckily others will be home to gather the package.
So, did you get a pre-order? How was your experience?
Update: Here is another way to pre-order when the website is down.
Its pretty exciting to be mentioning my first Objective-C developed iPhone app is now available for Free, on the App Store. This app is for the USO in celebration of their “Patriotic Six” which is the six weeks of patriotism starting Memorial Day (May 31) and ending July 5th.
I got the opportunity to work on this project thanks to Media-Fuse based out of Chicago, an agency that I have worked with for a few years now.
Here is a quick screenshot of the app, be sure to download your own copy.
