Sephy’s Platzish

And it’s not totally for the reason of all the features

If you know me, you know that I can fall in love with things for the most bizarre reasons, and the iPhone is not an exception to that.

They had two available for playing around with at Walmart - the 3G versions, natch, but that really doesn’t matter. So, I see these phones in the electronics section, and I go up to them and start playing with them - first just browsing on the web, then some more browsing and searching, playing with the pinch zoom thingy which is awesome.

Then on the other phone, I went to check out the actual phone portion of the phone that you use for, you know, calling?

An amazing thing happened. Naturally, I didn’t just try out calling locally, I typed in international numbers. Not so much to call, but just to see what happens (because most times phones don’t understand foreign numbering schemes). I type in an Australian mobile number, which is formatted this way - +61 4xx xxx xxx. I expected something odd, but it came up this way -

+61 4xx xxx xxx

Bloody amazing, if you ask me!

Aussie landline: +61 2 xxxx xxxx  - yep!

It gets international phone numbers - for me, that is reason enough to fall in love with a phone

I know it’s been a while since I’ve blogged…but one thing that I had wanted to mention is that since WordPress 2.7 has been released, I figured that this would be a perfect time to mention that if you want someone to go ahead and upgrade your blog to the latest and greatest version of WordPress, I’m your fella

What you get when you do your WordPress upgrade with me is a professional installation of the newest version, backups of your current site, and the peace of mind in knowing that you don’t have to worry about getting something wrong
