So yesterday I thought my new iPhone 4 was in my pocket. In fact it was on my lap. So when I got out of my car it fell onto the pavement in my driveway. It was not unscathed.

Just some small scuffs in the metal and a tiny chip on the edge of the glass in one spot. Very minor. If you were not looking carefully you would never notice. And even then you would note that the cosmetic defects were tiny and trivial.

Nonetheless these are the first blemishes on my shiny new iPhone. And as always the first time this happens with new gadgets it makes me sad.

But I guess it means it is truly mine now. :-)
