The evolution of wireless communication...





I have been fortunate enough to own a wireless phone from an early age. My brother Sergio let me buy a cell phone and activate it under his Pac Tel Cellular account. Any one remember Pacific Bell? I was 17 at the time and owned this huge cell I use to carry in my back pack. A year or so later just before I got out of high school Motorola introduced a sleek compact cell phone. We both upgraded as soon as we could get our hands on it. Through the years I have gone through just about a cell phone every year and a half always having an account with Pac Bell, then Air touch and now Verizon. For the first time ever, i will be switching wireless carriers.

Yesterday, I began my quest to get my chubby lil hands on a new cheaper i phone after Mirns said she was going to get it for me as a gift.
After calling a few AT&T stores and hearing, Thank you for calling At&t wireless we don't have any i phones how could we help you? I decided to go straight to the source. Mirns and I set out for the Brea apple store when i decided to call on the way there. They politely told me that I would not make it in time to wait in line and that they would probably run out by the time we got there. He then told me to call in the morning to see how many would be available for that day. Ok, I then thought to myself, South Coast Plaza has to have them. When the Ipods were sold out for Xmas 2 years ago they were the only one who had them. I know, My compa German bought 6 of them on the 23rd of DEC. Anyway, I call them and its the same sad story.
What the F? I waited 2 weeks so i wouldn't have to wait. After we got of the freeway in Cerritos to get some Ice Cream we drove by the AT&T store and decided what the hell. We walk in and the guy says, dude, just pay for it and you will have in about 2 days. SO SHE DID.... I hate paying for stuff and not having it in my hand ASAP....

I CAN'T WAIT! Here some pics of my first two phones and my last two phones.

Dang you're so fancy! I knew you'd figure out a way to get an IPhone. Be sure to Thank Mirns! :D

You're gonna love it!! I just got all the new apps downloaded onto my phone and I can't put it down...there's so much new stuff!!! I've been trying to convince Erick to let me get the newer version and he can have my old one :) that's a fair compromise, right?
