Griffin Elan Clip for iPhone 3G

The Elan Clip for iPhone 3G is the only accessory I bought at first.  I got it at the AT&T store because I'd been a Blackberry user for quite a while and was used to wearing them on my hip.  When I switched to my T-Mobile Wing 2 years ago, I started carrying it in my cargo pants pocket, so I'm not sure why I thought I'd use this iPhone clip.  I guess I thought that I would want to show it off by geeking it around on my belt.

Turns out that the clip part itself is not very long.  If you don't know what I'm talking about you've probably never clipped a phone to your belt.  You want the clip to actually hook on the bottom of the belt, making it more secure, it won't pop off as easily.  This Griffin clip just would not work.  Plus it made me nervous that I would hook it on something and the thing wold go flying off.  The iPhone is WAY to pretty to just let it get banged up.  I probably only used this clip 2 or 3 times and wouldn't suggest it to anybody that wants to clip it to a belt.

Getting my new iPhone 3G

So I waited for the 3G to come out before taking the plunge.  I'm glad I did, but sort of feel a little behind the curve a little.  One of my co-workers got one right when they came out, bought it online and then unlocked it.  Then applied an update and bricked it.  So he bought another and signed an AT&T contract on it.  I guess a few months later they made an un-bricker that he used, and promptly sold it to a friend.

Fast forward to September 09.  I was leaving for Las Vegas to attend Vmworld 2009 and had been talking to my boss about an iPhone for a few months.  He told me to pull the trigger and go get one from the AT&T store.  I got one, activated it in the store and ported my number.  It took a day or so for the porting to complete, but it went pretty smoothly.  I was the proud owner of an iPhone 3G.

My first post

Ok, so I'm going to blog about my iPhone.  Not very original I know.  I want to put some stuff on here that is useful.  Then people will find it in search engines, then I can put ads on here, then I can retire.  I guess I'll start from the beginning, which isn't really that long ago.  Then I'll work my way to the present and try to give some new and relevant information.
