well, ive finally joined the ranks of the somewhat early adopter crowd. i have purchased an iphone. not at full price mind you, but on ebay at a pretty decent deal. now, my first thought upon opening the box is "wow apple is really riding this simplicity train into the sunset" which im not gonna lie, i really like. my last phone had a 55 page instruction manual, which was stupid.
so after getting my sim card installed, i plugged this sucker in for the first time, activated it and did all that jazz. then it hits me, aside from the cool factor... the iphone is pretty plain. which i have absolutely no problem with because the cool factor is gonna last for quite a long time... like when i went to the at&t/cingular store to buy a new sim card, the clerks were all but drooling over my phone. i felt like quite the celebrity.
now for the nuts and bolts (haha, nuts)
things i like:
1) its an iphone
2) i dont need to use my laptop as much (which is great cause she's on her last legs)
3) the alarm is pretty ballin' it actually woke me up when i was asleep.
4) i can check my stocks...j/k i dont even know what a stock is...
5) the voicemail system does away with that annoying lady, and its really really simple.
6) i can access my home wi-fi network
7) i might be able to pick up chicks with it
things i dont like:
1) its an iphone
2) my fingertips are a little fat, so i tend to mash keys a bit
3) the text messaging setup makes me forget that im not using ichat... spamming could become a problem
4) what!? NO DEATHRAY! come on steve jobs...
5) also no video camera, which i dont really care about but i figured it was worth mentioning
6) speeker fone needs to be louder kid
finally, the whole bricking/unlocking fiasco makes me really really nervous to update the software...
anyways.
final grade: B+
cool is the key word when using an iphone
