Psycho Sensei has an iPhone!

Thanks to the small child for standing in line at the AT&T store (yeah, she got paid). Thanks to her we were #9 in line. There were about 70 people in line when we finally got in. They made a huge deal out of telling us that we were not allowed to open the boxes in the store, then let people in 3 or 4 at a time. They would ask how many you wanted, what size, what accessories, then attempt to check you out. That's where things got sticky.

The AT&T servers started having serious difficulties almost immediately. At our particular terminal, it took 40 minutes to check out. Yep, that's right... 40 minutes. Things kept "breaking" and otherwise not working properly. We FINALLY got out of there with our sealed bag (yep, the bags were self sealing so you couldn't open them in the store).

As we were leaving, the announcement was made that they were now sold out of 8 gig models.

So, getting home, I plugged in the iPhone to my powerbook, it opened iTunes, it synced everything including my email accounts, found my home network and connected to it, and uses the same type interface as the iPod and AppleTV in iTunes to sync music, videos and photos.

I do NOT like the keyboard yet. It's going to take some time to get used to since I type with my thumbs when I am using teeny tiny keyboards like this. This one won't really let you. It wants your index finger. Feh. Perhaps they will fix that in the future.

Course, since I don't have SERVICE in my HOUSE, I can't say how the actual PHONE part works yet. Heh heh. Ironic, no?

Update: The phone part works well when there is signal. Problem is, it's AT&T so the signal totally SUCKS. They don't drop calls because you can't PLACE them. *bah*
