Yeah, I don't know what it is. I mean, I'm assuming there's some carrier servers that are involved in this process. And like the worst part is there's no way to say, forget about that. I'll deal with it later. Just do the rest of the setup. Like you are stuck on that screen. This is activating. This may take a few minutes.

And as far as I know, there's no way to get past it, which argues for Casey's thing of like, hey, why don't you just buy it on lock? Because then at least you can do. the phone, like the data transfer part of the setup. And then when you have a functioning working phone that just doesn't have a phone number, then try to do the eSIM like transfer or whatever, however you initiate that process.

from the old one first or doing that like this this whole i've done it successfully so my wife's watched several times and every time i do it i have no confidence that i'm going to be successful i have no recollection of how i did it last time or why it worked and i just like cross my fingers and just dive in and and by the way everything on the watch takes forever i guess it's probably getting better as the watches get faster it doesn't take so long to do anything

I did use ice packs just in honor of Marco. I used them briefly, but then I got worried about condensation and stopped.

It does. Very much so.

I said this before any of us had ever tried it. Remember by seeing the demos, I'm like, that's modal. How are you going to get out of that mode? And trying it for real life, I experienced the exact same thing. The exact problem I predicted. I'm like, I'm having that problem. I eventually figured it out, but it's... Not great.

All right. So here's my experience with the camera control. The very first thing that I discovered with my new phone with the camera control is that the camera control is placed exactly where I apparently grabbed my phone. Exactly. I've done this a couple of times. Like with it taking it out of the box. I kid you not. It's the phone is not even on. I've just taken it out of the box.

I accidentally hit the camera control button three times in under 20 seconds. It's not even on. Like, the phone's not even on. I'm hitting the button, which, by the way... With what part of your hand? Are you hitting it with, like, your, like... That's apparently where I grab the phone.
