The adventures with my new iphone continue. Last week in an attempt to get some free downloads from the app (which I thought was Apple, but is actually applications) store, I inadvertently sent a mass email to everyone in my address book offering a free gift for signing up at a certain site. Well, I didn't even realize I did this until a friend called me at work to ask what the gift was. While I was denying that I sent this email, my coworker told me that she received the same thing from me. Thus began an influx of replies to my email regarding this. Now when I say a mass email to my whole address book, let me explain that it's not just my friends & family but lists of members of my church & various other organizations as well as people I haven't corresponded with in years. So I sent another mass email attempting to explain that this was a mistake & apologizing, however, those replies just keep on coming. I am responding to these individually once again explaining that this was an accident & that I need to get a clue about how to use my new iphone. Yes, it's like I had taken out a billboard stating I am soooo lame!
I decided to go running with my phone instead of my ipod shuffle since the phone has way more music choices. In retrospect I don't know why this is such a big deal since I only run for thirty minutes! Anyway, I was disappointed in the quality of the music & kept turning up the volume since it was barely audible. Finally I realized that I was not hearing the music through my earbuds but through the actual phone. A quick check provided me with a remedy--the phone jack was not pushed all the way in!
On a happier note about my phone, I had what I thought was a major problem with it as the screen was frozen. All the phone would do is make & receive calls--well, actually BE a phone which I guess could have been worse. I sent a text to Trent who called me in a matter of minutes. He asked me what was wrong & took me through a technique that totally fixed it--all in about one minute. He is brilliant!!!
