So... I Got An IPhone


I have been feeling the need to keep up with the site while I'm out and about so today I picked an iPhone and this is my first post using it.
I have to admit that the thing is impressive.

How do you thing the industry will change in the coming years as people have acess to the internet from anywhere?

Not to bad at all and if you move it horizontal it will come up on landscape mode automatically. I'm still getting used to it but over all I love it.

This is my first smart phone though.... so I'm not sure how the others do. I got this phone because the data plan was about half that of other phones.

Re: So... I Got An IPhone


Those iPone's are incredible, the picture quality is unbelievable and the zoom functions etc. are great. Two quick tips that you may already know, internet access is free if you are near a WiFi access point, and you can read pdf files if you email them to yourself and download them to the iPhone, you can read them inside the eMail.

No.. it's a new number so no voicemails yet. I do have a good friend of mine that is a pastor of a church in Florida and he gets about 25 - 40 voicemails a day. I never leave him a message because it always gets lost but last week I gave it a try and he called me right back. He said... I have "voicemail salvation" . He got an iPhone and said that feature alone was worth the cost of the phone.

Re: So... I Got An IPhone


Caps from my BlackBerry is a simple hold the key down. Not quite as impressed with this BlackBerry as I had hoped for. I thought for a second about the iPhone, but this was $100.

Re: So... I Got An IPhone


I have the Treo 755P and love it. I'm not taking advantage of half the features it has. I discovered I can stream audeo from radio station websites, so I'll never miss the call of my favorite team's games while working Saturday's. Having said that, I'd love to get an iphone, but I like Sprint too much to switch to AT&T.

Re: So... I Got An IPhone


The old phone died. I got a LG 8350 with WAY more crap than I want to deal with. I told them that I just wanted to send and recieve but my 'update' has MP 4? and some navigation system. Big Brother is steadily creeping in.

So far I'm loving it. Say what you will but this thing is the most impressive consumer electronic device I've ever seen. It's just so sooth and well thought out.

Re: So... I Got An IPhone


I wouldn't trade my iPhone for anything. Had similar smart phones and I just can't the same. Although most people haven't experienced the brialliant inovative, thinking of apple, because the over whelming amount of microsoft platforms out. Its simply an amazing world ( being a microsoft user for my lifetime till 3 years ago) but more about the iPhone , voicemail is crazy how easy it makes something that used to be more difficult then neccesary.

Just look at there pure engineering quality, all of us can appreciate that being tradesman. Thats just the surface. Mac makes my life better

Have you dropped yours yet? I'm scared to death of the first time I drop it on a concrete floor.
