As I write this, it’s less than 5 days before the iPhone 4 arrives here in Spain. I should be ecstatic, after all since the iPhone 4 was announced I was all set to sell a piece of my soul once again just to have Cupertino’s latest creation. Now, I don’t really care that much. So, what happened? Is it because I got discouraged by this so-called antenna issue and I’m afraid that I will have a  phone that can’t make calls? Yes, you are absolutely wrong.

I couldn’t care less about the antenna thing, I think it’s a non-issue and, as with most Apple stories, something that has been overhyped by the media. It’s a freakin’ phone, if you don’t like your iPhone 4 because it drops calls like an adolescent boy’s balls then return it and get another smartphone. Problem solved.

Why am I not getting an iPhone 4, then? It’s simple, really, I don’t know how. After the launch in the UK and France where Apple put up a full-priced unlocked version on the online Apple Store, I fully expected them to do the same for the launch here. After all, Movistar lost exclusivity rights and all major carriers have announced that they will sell it. Waited for pre-orders and there’s none. I thought about getting it subsidized and just signing-up for a plan but it’s something I really don’t want to do. With my current prepaid plan, I spend less than 7 € for data and occasional calls and SMS. Cheapest iPhone plans would probably hover around 20-30 € per month and I will be tied to that for a year and a half? No, thanks.

Until I could somehow snatch up an unlocked iPhone 4, I am staying with my 3G. It pains me to say that as it has been running really slow on iOS 4. I will just have to deal with it for a while and if it becomes unbearable, I can always downgrade. Besides, the white one won’t come out until later this year and I might just wait for that.

Hey, where did everything go?! Oh right, I deleted them all. Yep, 3-4 years worth of stuff, trashed. Well, I didn’t exactly delete everything, they’re just kept safe on a folder in my hard drive somewhere, ready to be pulled up in case I needed something to humor me (how emo was I in college?).

I did it so I could start fresh, I want this part of the blog to be more tech-centric—posting tips and hacks, offering my views on the latest product release, stuff like that. I have my Tumblr for personal posts but I might still post here if I had a drunken night and I just feel the need to write a long and dramatic post.

And oh, in case you’ve been following me since my old blog, just a little tidbit: I’m staying in Barcelona. For good. Isn’t that awesome?
