Without dwelling on the fact that I haven’t written on here in months…I bring you the inevitable iPhone post…
When I went to buy the iPhone, all I could think about was holding it, checking my email and then going on the web. Then all I thought about was writing on here about it afterwards.
But I made sure to give myself a week so that I could truly write about it instead of just shouting off different “yays” and “woo hoos” as I wrote this post.
The first thing I wanted to do is write about the experience: how long I didn’t have to wait, talking to and getting to know the equally anxious people around me, the cheering and consecutive high fives as I ran into the store and how big my smile was when I left. And while that’s all true…it was a total experience…you’ve probably already heard it twenty times.
So let’s get down to it…
The phone itself took about 10 minutes to activate online. I have to say it was one of the easiest and most pleasant activations I have ever experienced. No crying babies, no back cramps from hours of standing and no lines to further wait in. Sitting at home, syncing the phone and setting it up was a breeze.
The phone itself (once Verizon finally released their grip on my number) began improving my daily life immediately. The maps interface on the road is great, I just search for an address or business and it gives me everything at my fingertips. The web displays exactly how it’s intended, and my phone is nowhere near dial-up (as everyone claims) with or without wifi.
The iPod is just an iPod; the cover flow doesn’t really do it for me. I think the best part about the iPod is just the interface of the phone, being touch-only.
I do have a few favorites though…
I love the fact that it rotates in Safari based off of the position it is. I love how the keyboard is dynamic based on the task at hand. And, while small in comparison, my favorite of all is that the phone turns off the screen when the receiver is to my ear.
All in all, the purchase and transfer to AT&T has been a breeze and completely worth it. But enough about me…what do you think of your new toy?
