I’m now an iPhone owner :)
I swore off the iPhone for at least a year when it was first announced. I had good reasons (to me at least). To recap:
- I couldn’t synchronize with Exchange over the air (ADDRESSED)
- Couldn’t swap the battery out for a better one
- The EDGE network was/is so slow to be unusable (ADDRESSED)
- It was a closed platform (ADDRESSED)
- It was ridiculously, insanely expensive (ADDRESSED)
- It was a v1 from a company that’s never built a phone before (ADDRESSED)
- Typing on something without feedback won’t work
- I didn’t want a phone that could get scratched easily
- Functionally, it didn’t do more than my current phone (ADDRESSED)
I compromised on a few of these things – but Apple addressed the important ones. So I ended up waiting in line for 2.5 hours (I think it was actually more like 3!) yesterday morning to get one. I don’t even know where to start with this thing, I dig it so much; it’s easily the most excited I’ve been for a toy since I got my first PalmPilot in 1997 (the thing that started this addiction).
I likely won’t be writing too much about my iPhone though, for a few reasons: 1) I don’t want to gush, and I will end up gushing 2) I’m not blogging that much anyway - even though the iPhone is inspiring me to, 3) It’s been covered to death, 4) Anything I write can’t do justice to this little marvel.
So, just in case anyone cares, I now have an iPhone (syncing it with Windows Vista and Exchange Server of course). Using it is like having a magic wand ;)
