I love my iPhone. I take it with me everywhere, 24/7, and feel like I'm missing an appendage when I misplace it. Ask my husband. I think he is actually a bit jealous of my relationship with my phone.
That said, my iPhone and I are currently having issues in the communication department. In my excitement to provide only the best for my dear phone, I eagerly upgraded it to the new iOS 5 that was released this week. Or at least I tried to. Now my phone is only half the phone it used to be, refusing to completely be restored to its former self.
All its apps, contact and photos are there, but it stubbornly refuses to allow its music to be restored. I guess I should feel lucky it works at all with all the bricking going on around the country, but I just want my iPhone to be the phone it used to be, and that includes its music.
Part of me wonders if I should just lobotomize it, start with a clean slate and do my version of the 6 Million Dollar Man, "Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology." But there is the fear of losing what I have now. Is half a phone better than no phone at all?
Currently I'm playing the waiting game, hoping that Apple will come up with a cure for Error -54; they don't have one available yet. So here I sit with my sad, half-a-phone, wishing I had waited a few weeks to upgrade and hoping I don't have to resort to something drastic.
