I am so excited and proud of myself for finally having a functioning iPhone in Germany. It was a long journey and a very long 9.5 months, but the results were worth the wait.
If you ever find yourself in a situation where you need to unlock an iPhone, just remember to have patience. I think Apple and phone companies are now making it just a bit easier for people and I was just caught up in some bad timing, but it was a tough road.
However, I will now have 100% access to email.
Some things I'm most excited about?:
1. Weather: I don't trust the Apple weather 100%, but it will be better than trying to look out of my construction-covered windows or just plain guessing what to wear.
2. Email: Great way to keep in contact (wink, wink).
3. Maps: I plan to no longer get lost or fear getting lost. I will be able to navigate myself to new places without printing maps out or having to research possible plans and routes far in advance.
4. WhatsApp: A great way to text internationally (again, wink, wink).
5. Texting: Now I don't have to type oldschool and press actual buttons (who does that?! jk).
6. City bikes: I should now be much better equipped to rent a free city bike. Technically you don't need a smartphone or the app, but it just seems way less complicated this way. I'll let you know when I face the fear of doing this alone.
7. Rings: I will have much better options for rings and messages.
8. Color: Aside from the home screen, my Nokia was all in black and white. I'll be living in color again!
9. One Phone: Now I won't have to carry two phones around. Much more practical.
10. The cool factor: I feel like I rejoined the 21st century and humans in general. And adults. About time.

I'm glad you won't need a map because I found your missing map in my suitcase!
