A blog, an iPhone & me
Leaving in two days for London England has got me very excited. Not only for the trip itself but also for the fact that I picked up a new iPhone 3G to help me along the way.
Like many, I have wanted to buy one of these beauties for quite some time. But I wasn’t able to because of two reasons.
The first was because of the little problem that began when Rogers launched the iphone in Canada; that being their inventory allotment from Apple. This in turn caused a halt on all purchases of the iPhone from any employee (that’s me!) trying to acquire the device until further notice. (something about Rogers’ commitment to putting the real customers first)
The second problem was due to the everpresent financing required to purchase the iPhone.
Well today was a great day for me as I realized that my resignation from being an employee of Rogers came with a dual benefit. Working seven years at The Shopping Channel didn’t go unnoticed. I did my job very well, and out of appreciation, I received a personal gift from the staff towards purchasing an iPhone.
Then, as I negotiated relentlessly with a sales rep at a Rogers Video store, I came to find that employees are gradually being allowed to purchase the devices!
Now, as I lie here in bed, all synced up with Wordpress’s iPhone app free from the Apple iTunes App Store, I post my
first post of many, detailing my trip to the UK and my team’s progress through the IGLFA World Cup of Soccer.
Stay tuned!!
