Thread: The iPhone, One Week On

(And Serenak's sig contains a Marillion lyric...that is all kinds of awesome. You know they just celebrated their 30th anniversary, and their 20th with h as lead singer?) One thing that I haven't expressed, really, is how lightly your fingers seem to "dance" across the surface of the phone while using it...the interface encourages a light touch. It really feels like using a precision mechanical watch or something of that...

IIRC, I heard the 3gs has MMS everywhere. Still not an acceptable deal. Come on, it took three revisions to add what most bargain bin camera phones do by default? Like I said, this is just a review on what i have. I personally would still buy a blackberry over an iPhone if I could swing that kind of green. edit: this is not to say the phone is bad, but there are some little features I consider standard. That said, the iPhone is a fantastic...

Hey Erbo - nicely spotted man - never followed them after Fish left, but I saw them several times in the years he was front man (including a very intimate fan club Christmas gig in Aylesbury) Yes the software updates make the iPhone far more "durable" than the average phone - my 3G now has cut and paste", MMS, landscape mode typing in SMS, and Mail (though I had an App for that anyway), etc etc., that it didn't have...

With everything the iPhone brings: apps, camera, (video rocks), GPS, maps, a phone I can actually use and enjoy using, and including tethering now, I would never go back to a "regular" phone. Never ever ever!

Quote from a friend on Friday night, while showing me her current favourite iphone-app... quote: Someone asked me today if I like my iPhone, I said I am embarrassingly fond of my iPhone. -------------------- Everything fits in the second drawer down

If they ever make an iPhone that wouldn't violate my wallet, I might consider it. Until then, I'm perfectly happen with my boring phone, and my terribly awesome [free] iPod Touch. -------------------- There are three things you can be sure of in life: Death, taxes, and reading about fake illnesses online...

I'll buy one when it can scan for life forms. -------------------- Curiosity was framed; ignorance killed the cat.
