I couldn't deal with it any longer. My mother has had an iPhone 3 GS for a year now, and the poor thing barely gets used. Phone calls, diary, address book, emails occasionally, maybe Facebook once in a while. That is IT. Poor little wonderful machine could never shine to its full potential. And it hurt me see how much could be done with such a brilliantly smart phone, and how little it was used. I had hopes that Mum would start using all its lovely apps and fall totally in love with it, as it's so easy to use. But no. She thinks it's ok, yes, it is easy to use, but she didn't need all those apps and stuff.
Truth is, I have been of the opinion that despite my dear mother being a wonderful person, she was not really appreciating her iPhone and giving it the life it deserves. I decided that I would be much better at caring for it. That I would love it more, so much more, and use all its fabulous features and pat it with appreciating when once again it has provided me with convenient information in an amazingly efficient way. I have been dreaming of an iPhone for at least a year. I couldn't get one back in Australia on my plan. And so I got the Nokia. And well, we all know how I feel about that "?&*%#! Nokia. And many, many times have I wished my Nokia would turn into an iPhone overnight. It never happened.
A few days ago, I had had enough. Mum's poor iPhone needed to be loved. I could hear it crying at night time while we were in Denmark. Often, I would hear my Mum mention something she wish she knew or figure out, and I would hear her iPhone say 'I have an app for that!' with a hushed voice filled with excitement. But no, Mum would get the actual phone book/use her pc/etc. I couldn't bear it anymore. Poor iPhone was suffering. Had been suffering for so long.
Mum agreed she didn't really need an iPhone. And that I did. That its beautiful multi language keyboard would be perfect for my bi-lingual world. There is no phone easier to write several languages with. Just to mention something I would love it eternally for. Just one of the many, many things.
So, today I took Mum out and told her she could choose a new phone and I would from now on show her iPhone the love and affection and appreciation it rightly deserves. And so it went. She chose a new HTC Wildfire, which I paid for, and I got her iPhone. Her phone took several hours to set up, and is still not completely sorted. Despite that, I think it's a brilliant phone. But for me to set up the iPhone as my own took barely any time at all. It is now fully mine. And totally loved. My MacBook Air and my iPhone (my iPhone! YAYAY!) are fully acquainted and are currently chatting like old friends and understanding each other as if they were made for each other. Oh wait, they are. I loves it!
I have so far received my first text message from Phizz. It was amazing. I can't wait to use all its wonderful brilliant features that I have missed on my iPod Touch. And before you start, I shall keep my iPod and love it the same as I always have. iPod and iPhone can be friends.
Anyway, my dear readers, I cannot believe I finally own an iPhone. Today is a great day. Oh, hang on, it's after midnight. Yesterday was a great day. Now, I need to go to sleep and put my iPhone away. That will be hard.
Goodnight, friends. A happy iFlorence signing off. x
