Be careful what you wish for...

Did I say I was getting an iPhone? I did didn't I? I've now wasted about three days of my life actually trying to figure out the mechanism through which I can get my mits on one.

I'm with 02 which is a good start and I'm in my upgrade period which you would think could make things easy. That is until you find out you're on 'the old system' (said like you're a criminal of some description) and that the 02 shop can't help you and your long-time-customer kin. Ring 02 customer services they say, they have the better deals anyway.

So you do and are met with, not a human being, but a message saying that if you're ringing about the iPhone don't bother, it's out of stock. Any steer on when it'll be back in stock? Fuck no, it's just out of stock and that's all the information you deserve.

For anyone who has followed this blog you'll know that we haven't exactly had fun with new technology a lot of the time at No More Art. If anything, we're like dinosaurs compared to the young scamps around these days what with their new fangled iPods, iHeads or whatever they've got that confuses me these days.

So I'm relenting. I'm going backwards. If they're going to make it so damn hard to keep up then I'm dropping out. I'm going to be a technohobo through choice and get either a Blackberry or the new Sony Ericsson.

Stay tuned, this one will be a saga.
