New addition to the Robnett family

NEW YORK — It’s been nearly a month since the Robnetts brought home their newest addition into the household, a shiny new iPhone 3G. At 7:04 PM July 11th they welcomed a 16 gig miracle into their lives.

Our little bundle of joy.
“It was touch and go for a good 2 hours,” said the father, Aaron. “Stacy got in line at the Soho Apple Store and called me. I knew before I even answered she was in labor…laboring to get me the iPhone 3G.”

Being a first time iPhone purchaser came with some excitement. “Ever since Steve Jobs told me what phone I was having last month, I’ve hardly been able to contain myself. I downloaded a countdown calendar and have been reading everything I can about it since the announcement,” said Aaron.

“When Stacy called me I immediately left work. Once I arrived at her side, I noticed her water broke,” Aaron continued. “You see, the Apple Store employees were nice enough to hand us bottles of water while we waited in line, and she had just broken the seal on hers, so I asked her for a sip. It was really hot that day.”

Finally, after what must have seemed like an eternity, the iPhone was delivered. “As the salesperson brought it out, something changed inside me,” Aaron explained. “There it was. This tiny phone was mine. This phone was going to be by my side for the next year, maybe even two years, max. I thought about all the apps I had to download for it, and the little screen protector I had to make sure covered it. It was going to be a big responsibility, but one I felt I was made for.”

Even ultrasounds look better on Apple products.
Since the iPhone 3G has been home, Aaron admits his life has changed dramatically. “I’ve cut way back on my Grand Theft Auto IV time. I’m able to surf the web on the toilet now which keeps me in the bathroom a lot longer than normal, and I’m a lot less attentive during conference calls. But don’t get me wrong, it’s only been a month and I don’t know what I do without it.”

Aaron also said he’s looking forward to enrolling the iPhone 3G in fantasy football applications in the fall. “It’s growing up so fast,” said Aaron as he tucked it in to its charging dock for the night.

Zzzzzz.
We left multiple messages for Stacy, asking for her comment. However she never returned our calls. We assume it’s because she has a crappy 4 month old Sanyo flip phone.
