Confessions of an Apple Fanboi
The Holy Grail!
Dear Orange,
Why do you tease me? The pre-order date for the Apple iPhone 4 has come and gone and you just sit there pretending that it doesn’t exist! I could have pre-ordered from SFR and had the shiny new gadget delivered to my door on June 24th, but I waited for you! I waited in the cold and the rain sobbing uncontrollably! Where are you?!
Now SFR says that the iPhone 4 is “indisponible”! I have missed my chance!
I could have ordered an unlocked iPhone from the Apple store online! Again, I shunned the guarantee of Thursday bliss and waited for you like a loyal dog that kept thinking his master would come for him! Why do you taunt me so?
Now the Apple store says no delivery until the second of July. What mortal can endure such hardship as a one week delay! Again, I missed my chance.
So I still wait for you Orange. I wait for your email telling me that I can pre-order one of you precious iPhone 4s. I won’t sleep until I get it!
Update: I had to go back to the US the week of the 24th for a family emergency, so I missed the opening day in France. Orange finally opened up for internet orders a couple days before the 24th and I quickly and easily ordered my new toy. I managed to get to the relais and pick it up after I got back and before I passed out from the flight.
Boo hoo hoo. Poor Fanboi MacGadget. There’s nothing worse than not getting a new iPhone when you have a fully functioning existing iPhone. You’ll just have to entertain yourself with the iPad, but I know that is kind of a drag since it is already 10 weeks old.
