iPhone Review
Two weeks ago I purchased an iPhone... fully knowing I may not like all the downsides, hoping the good would outweigh the bad. I am a gadget nerd... that's for sure. I also love cellphones that have lots of features and am always looking for a better one. So it was only a matter of time. Of course, I did this even though I was advised not to... by a very close friend. I hope he has forgiven me... Well, I was planning on using it for two weeks to try it out, and then decide to keep it or return it. The two weeks were up today and... I am keeping it. (I'm sorry, Chris) Here's my list of pros and cons:
Pros:
large screen, great resolution
good call quality
easy to use screen
typing gets quite easy and predictive after a while
large memory
iPod with speaker!
decent camera
email easy to set up
Wi-fi speed is awesome (when available)
Cons:
ATT Edge network
easy to accidentally call someone or hangup on call due to touch sensitivity (passcode lock helps)
battery life - I have to charge every night. Admittedly I am using it constantly.
As you can see, I am overwhelmingly happy with it. I wish it had a few features my Blackberry did, such as vibrating or beeping more than ONCE when a message comes in, and a blinking light to alert me. However, I have learned to live with that.
I have encountered a fair amount of iPhone envy these last two weeks. Pretty much anytime I use it around people who have not seen it, I have to give a tour. I guess Apple has built itself a little bit of a cult around the iPhone... and I admit to being a fangirl. So I am a happy tour guide...

As much as I am sort of anti-Apple-zealots --- (I love my iPod, I think their computers are overpriced), I've been intrigued by the iPhone. Not enough to dump vzn and go with ATT just to get a phone, but maybe in a year or two.
It is funny though how an iPhone is like a puppy -- everyone wants to play with it!
