Shattered iPhone Is Not a Pretty Picture...But Lucky Me

 Yesterday at one of my showings, I slipped and fell hitting the concrete with enough force to shatter my iPhone. In the condition below, the phone still worked except for the bits of glass I was getting in and on my fingers.

 A phone call to Gadget Guru and a quick drive to 11000 Owings Mills Blvd. How lucky... this was just a few miles from my listing. Within an hour ...my phone was as good as new. 

Great service, great convenience from the great guys at Gadget Guru. 

 

 

 

Lucky me, not that I fell,  that Gadget Guru was available and open on a Saturday afternoon!

Fun At An Apple Workshop!

Even though it is the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, I had signed up for a workshop at the Apple Store in Towson. With all the reports of heavy traffic and accidents etc..I thought a 5:00 class is not the best idea. But it was already on my schedule and I kept the appointment.

And am I glad!! The entire workshop consisted of me and Shae and we had so much fun. One question after another I fired at Shae and she was answering them. How do you make ® on the iPad? ..can't. You have to copy and save and then paste it. Someone tell my why?

In between my questions, Shae continued to give me pointers and show useful and fun things on the iPad.

While there Lindsay, who helped me a couple of weeks ago was in the store with her adorable daughter. I asked permission to take her picture and she posed. What a cutie!

Arriving home, I notice a couple of comments from William Johnson on ''my  post''  which consisted of three letters in its entirety!  Yep, you guessed it, I was playing with the AR blog at the workshop. Even though it said 'draft' it went public. Sorry Mr. Johnson for being the cause of your 50 point loss. The post and your comments have been deleted.

To sign up for these workshops....go to  apple.com, find your store and make a reservation...pretty simple.

There is one called "Getting Started with iPad and iPhone and another "Going Further with iPad and iPhone.

There might be 10-15 people in these sessions or you may just luck out and no one else shows up. I am told this is not likely but it happened for me!

Set Up The iPhone From The iPad Via Skype..

Do you remember not too long ago when I got my First Apple Product?

Today the second Apple product..the iPhone arrived. I took a picture of the box, then a picture of the phone in the box, then went to the AT&T store and Paul was a tremendous help and very patient switching my service from another carrier and transferring data from two previous phones into the new very pretty iPhone. (That's another post for later.)

And then my beautiful brilliant daughter who convinced me to get involved with the apple had a meeting and limited time. No problem.. Erica asked me to Skype her and from my iPad she walked me right through the set up.

      
         
                                  



                                     

                                                                                  

This is really exciting. Now to find some time to play in between showings, listings, sales and settlements.

A Good Problem to Have.. Standing Room Only

Last week at the GBBR there was  a 'standing room only' crowd...at least for awhile ... the conference room overflowed until we were able to move to a larger space.

That is a good problem to have...Standing Room Only.

Thanks to Kim Jones of Keller Williams who does such a good job  arranging these get togethers at the Greater Baltimore Board of REALTORS. This was the first smart phone workshop and was presented by technicians from  Best Buy Mobile. They were able to answer  lots of questions about all types of phones and tablets.

Since Best Buy sells many different brands, it was very informative...so much so there will be a follow up session on the iPhone, iPad, Blackberry and Droid.

                                   

                                              

Of  those 50 people, only one other had the Palm Pre... and that was the Best Buy technician. I really love this phone... obviously not a very popular one.
                                                                     
The absolute best phone or technology is the ONE YOU WILL USE!

At the next workshop, the Best Buy techs  will be able to  answer your questions and help you decide which phone may be best for your needs or to help you better utilize the phone you already own. Thanks to Kim and Best Buy for this well attended FREE workshop.

The next workshop is Friday February 4th 9:30 am - 11:30am. Hope you can make it.
