Sweet and sour

I just got my iPhone 4 today. It's an amazing product. It really is. Just the feel of it is amazing. And it's soooo advanced.
Love it. Honestly.

And of course, this being planet Earth, there has to be a few brain-dead details, like:

1. The earphone cord is too short to reach from my pants pocket to my ears. 
2. The charging cord is too short to reach from the floor power socket to my table.  (What the f**k is it with Apple and too-short cords?)
3. There was a tiny leaflet with instructions on all kinds of things... except how to find a carrier, and how to put in the micro-SIM card. In other words, how to get the whole thing started. iTunes refused to do anything before this was done but... no instructions. 
4. Is this not just so goddamned typical? 

Update: Turns out the too-short earphone cord was from another iPod. The one which came with the iPhone (and which has the handy little controller near the top which they all should have) is thankfully longer.
