She only provided the box (her mom just bought one so she borrowed it)
So actually I have an Iphone Box until we go to the store and get one .
But she said if I did not want to switch to ATT , she would buy me something else.
I currently have service with T-mobile , so I have to decide what to do .
I looked into unlocking the 3g iphone but i heard a rumor that if you cancel the ATT service after activation, you not only pay the fee , but you must return the phone to them.

and good luck to CM also

I'm kind of nervous/scared/anxious, etc. It's going to be a long wait (potentially up to 4 years, but could be as fast as 3 months) so I won't be jumping into anything crazy too quickly, but it kept me up all last night.

In even more other news, I have an idea for the first product of the manufacturing wing of PBC, LLC. A little plastic clip so the toilet seats on Boeings don't fall down midstream. What's up with that? It's bad enough doing the limbo.

If you do decide to get a 3g Iphone and unlock it, the 3g part won't work w/ T-Mobile's 3g service. They use different frequencies for their 3g service. You'd be using the slower (like dial-up) GPRS/Edge speed. I want an Iphone 3g as well, but would like it to work w/ T-Mobile's 3g service.

And, as is traditional in that part of the world, special glasses to match (sorry the picture isn't great, but it is the best I could get in the dark pub. I would've snagged one for you but my bag was already overstuffed thanks to the kilim we bought in Turkey.

And for the golf fans here in the Box, I put up a few from the course near our hotel in England on the Golfscapes thread.

Oh, and beer can be used to help pose a photo, too.

Been on a cruise in the Caribbean. Never again. I'd like to try a cruise in the Mediterranean or in Alaska.

I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on a BWI-SAN R/T for $235.50 a/i, MR (Saturday, 9/27, with a redeye return). Anyone want to join me? I'll need it to downgrade to silver for next year. Only 2 1/2 hours in SAN. There's a 3 1/2 hour stop in IAH on the way there.^

Bidding is now at 93,000 miles for a hard drive which can be purchased for $199.00 . Talk about devaluation of OP miles :eek:

BTW, the auction closed at 150,500 miles for this HD. Talk about ridiculous. That's something on the order of 0.13 CENTS per mile value, assuming that MSRP is reasonable. In this case something comparable is available for $95, meaning that the miles were really only valued at 0.06 cents by the bidder. And there was more than one person bidding to get the thing at those rates. Just crazy.

OMG that's one of the saddest looking airline meals I've ever seen, in any class of service. The large square plate just makes it look worse, since half the plate is empty. And what's up with the sauce in the foil container? If they're going to serve the sauce on the side, they ought to put it in something more appropriate.
