Yes I have purchased an iPhone.. No more jokes from me about being a traitor to the cause
I have to say it's nice! I've never really been an "Apple Hater" more of a "Windows praiser" .. but my last Windows mobile device while it "worked" sometimes it wasn't as intuitive or as user friendly as I would have liked.
I wanted something that would just do what I asked. A button to check email.. a button to surf the web, a button to play music ,a button to watch videos and a button to make the molecules in women's undergarments leap simultaneously one foot to the left, in accordance to the theory of indeterminacy. Unfortunately that last button doesn't work as my Bambelweeny 57 Sub-Meson Brain isn't Apple compliant and my atomic vector plotter has run out of batteries.
However, finite improbability aside it does what I want it to.
I don't use my phone to take pictures.. I have a camera for that. at the most I use it as a visual note pad.. and for that se the iPhone camera is adequate! I don't send MMS. I have email.. why would I use MMS?
the cut and paste.. ok granted that's a pain but I can live with that.
and the set up.. egads!! have been used to just inserting my sim card to a freshly charged new phone and playing straight away. Nope.. I needed to plug my iPhone into the PC... and download iTunes.. and Register the phone THEN and only then could I play. But all that aside I'm impressed. It's a nice phone. Already downloaded a few apps. Namely facebook, skype, last Fm and shazam (which is really cool.. tested it on the end credits of "Judge dredd" last night.. and it correctly identified the song playing as "Dredd song" by the cure!!)
I'll not be rushing out to buy an Apple mac .. I'm still a Windows guy and a windows developer. But for the iPhone I'm sold !!
