Iphone and I
This damn iPhone has taken me so far since I first bought it. I think I spent 60 out of the first 72 hours from the time of purchase awake, trying to download apps and explore all the features. In short, when Leo Laporte said that it was a nice personal computer and a bad telephone he was right. At&t’s network is still delivers spotty call quality and some how I cant imagine it getting better magically when the end of the summer comes and they finally release MMS and tethering to gobble any bandwidth left in the US market.
iPhone?
Nonetheless, the sheer functionality of the device in such an elegant form has been executed perfectly by apple.
The raw power of the app community gives the iPhone’s hardware features steroids and really make it better as time goes on with more creative and functional apps being released.
It is really exciting to be out in public and have an idea, check it on the internet, and react to the social or personal graph accordingly. Suddenly, the things that we need to do and think about are easier and though we waste all of our time with the device it seems like we are being much more productive. The social media, communication, information, entertainment, and utility value are all 9 / 10 in my opinion.
Drawbacks (for the white version at least) include cracking shells. Yes that’s right, my white 3G S is barely a month old and it has the notorious cracks in the plastic other users have been reporting.
I also have been using a seidio innocase and happen to have dropped the phone twice with it on… nonetheless this would be very disturbing had I not signed up for Applecare.
I thought it seemed like a cool phone when I had never used it before. Now it has truly exceeded my expectations and I have to give it a generous recommendation to anyone who enjoys social media.
