douche phone suckers
July 12th, 2008 |ABC:
Long lines of disgruntled customers wrapped around city blocks across the globe today as Apple scrambled to fix a glitch in iTunes that prevented iPhone acolytes from activating the next-generation phones they had waited hours, even days, to buy.
Funny, I never had such problems with my Windows Mobile phone.
People tell me all the time what a great device the iPhone is. I’m sure it’s great, when it works.

then stay with the Windows Mobile phone.
then stay with the Windows Mobile phone.
Wow Mo, guess you told him, huh?
So a Windows Mobile phone is not a douche phone?
They are all douche phones, but there are varying degrees of doucheness.
It’s not just early adopters of the new hardware, either. First-generation devices that got firmware updates are bricked until they can be activated, as well.
And you thought Microsoft was a bunch of control freaks. They’ve never gone so far as disabling your system even in the most obvious cases of unauthorized use.
I’m holding out some hope for the BlackBerry Thunder, if they get the haptic thing down just right, but it won’t look as sexy with my MacBooks.
My Treo 755p does not give me that fresh feeling so I am assuming it is not a douche phone.
Rumor has it that AT&T insisted on the activation plan, (1) because they subsidized the new launch, and (2) to ensure that people would be signed up for the 2 year plan, thus more likely to stay with AT&T and not ‘jailbreak’ the iPhone for another carrier. The flood crashed the iTunes servers. The first edition allowed peeps to activate from home by docking the phone to their PC or Mac. GFride’s new phone is working fine, and the new sync service (MobileMe) works great here. I will be getting one soon. I’m so sick of Sprint/Nextel.
my douche Windows Mobile phone crashes all the time….good thing I got an iPhone on Friday and it is activated awaiting Smither’s call for when he want to cross it up
