I've seen some of the Will it blend movies before, however today Gruber linked this one: Will it blend: iPhone.
Horrifying.
Horrifying.
It's true: I am an iPhone owner. I bought mine at 7:00 P.M. on June
29th, the very evening they came out. Upon reaching my local Apple
store I was concerned that they were sold out as there was no line,
however when I pointed this out to one of the twelve thousand clerks he
told me they had plenty. I asked a few questions, approached the
counter (also no line), chose my phone, paid, and left. After getting
home I had my phone activated and my number switched within 30 minutes
and could make and receive calls within an hour.
The only problem I've had so far was with battery life. The Usage data wouldn't update and my battery was dying within a day, without using the phone very much at all. After some research on the Apple discussion forums I learned that some others had similar experiences and a trip to the Apple store was the remedy. Sure enough after describing my problem I was given a new phone, which is doing much better.
I'd like to write a whole review, however since I'm just getting the blog up and running again I'll start with baby steps. The iPhone is a beautiful device. The hardware is sleek and eye catching and the software is smooth and fast. My favorite feature is Safari. I've always wanted an internet device that gave me access to the interwebs from anywhere at anytime. With the iPhone I have that. Look up an address in Google Maps? Done. Check my Gmail? Finished. Read a little Slashdot? Piece of cake. This is the way the web was meant to be: all access, all the time.
If you read this far, thanks. I've been itching to get back into the writing game for a while, and hopefully this will be the first of quite a few posts. I've got my fingers crossed...
