iPhone

Last night I JailBroke my iPhone 3g, and it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. Now I have a bunch of new crazy apps - including SCRABBLE!!! - and also a video recorder. Here’s a good source if you’re interested: http://ipodtouched.net

Went to a new nightclub in Anaheim this past weekend with my cousins. It’s called Heat Ultra Lounge and is located inside the Anaheim Gardenwalk — pretty similar to The Grove. The place reminds me of V20 but a much smaller version. Cover charge - $20, mixed crowd… cool place to check out at least once. I’m more interested in returning for the shopping center..didn’t know that place existed!

Did anyone catch The Simpsons last night on Fox? There was a funny quote that went something like “Daddy, I wanted a Range Rover, not a LAND Rover. sigh!”.. well it’s only funny if you know a lot about these types of cars. Land Rover is a ‘make’ and the models they have are the LR2, LR3, Range Rover Sport and Range Rover. It all sounds the same but they are completely different from each other. har-d-har-har? Why does everyone keep pressuring me to buy rims?

Last Friday, my new iPhone 3G was going haywire.

1. It got really hot even though the phone was off.
2. The programs were running super slow.
3. I couldn’t get ANY reception.
4. After restarting, I got an S.O.S. emergency message in French.
5. After restarting it a few more times, it kept prompting me to activate the phone and kept restarting on its own.

I took the phone to an Apple Store in Rancho Cucamonga without an appointment (their online reservation system said they were booked). The trick is to go there and ask to be put on a standby list. If they give you a hard time about it, just say that you live far away and would rather wait than come back another day. The standby takes about 15 minutes to an hour. If you stand in front of the bar and stare at the Geniuses, after a while they’ll notice how long you’ve been waiting and call you up.

Anyhow, they ran a quick diagnostic of my iPhone and discovered a hardware issue so I got a replacement on the spot.
