It was more interesting to wait for it than to get it. iPhone OS 3.0 that is. Now that I've got it, I'm left wanting the hardware that I haven't got, and the Verizon network that I cannot get. And you know what else? I really haven't gotten anything worth cutting or pasting anyway.
And so my drama was brief and reduced to
A. Wondering why the upgrade wasn't available until this afternoon.
B. Wondering why it took 45 minutes for my iTunes client to connect up to the iTunes store.
At the moment, I am assuming that the problems I'm having connecting my laptop to my iPhone are temporary and will disappear after I reboot. For the better part of an hour I thought I had bricked my phone because it had an icon that said 'connect to itunes' but whenever I did, iTunes could either not recognize my phone at all unless I restarted it, or it could recognize it and not see the iTunes store. And so all I could do was nothing...
Until I decided to synch with iTunes on another machine, after which my phone sprang to life. I haven't looked back since, and I don't expect to. Unless the laptop reboot doesn't help.
More later.
