iPhone Review July 5, 2007

I’ve been using my iPhone since around 8:15 PM on Friday. I have to say that it is everything I expected and then some. My activation went great – had to download the new iTunes, then the phone was activated in about 5 minutes. The iPhone is tremendous! The email, SMS messaging and the phone function itself are all head and shoulders above anything else out there. The keyboard is also awesome! It takes a few days to truly get accustomed to it, but once one does get used to “trusting” the keyboard software it is really fast.
The Google maps are great also. Used them on visitation on Tuesday night and got right where I wanted to go more quickly than ever before.
Two things about the price: Since it includes an iPod, $199 for a 4GB Nano doesn’t have to be spent – and the Nano doesn’t have the video. which brings one up to $249 for the regular iPod. Throw in the fact that the unlimited data transmission via internet and email is only $20 per month (200 messages, $10 more for 1500, $20 more for unlimited text messaging) the price isn’t actually that high. The Blackberry packages that are similar are generally $40-50 per month extra. Not to mention it far and away has the best video resolution of any device like it.
I’d better get back to work! I have to say I’ve never been more pleased with a technological device than I am with the iPhone!
You’ve almost sold me on the iPhone! How are things going for you at your church in Brockton? We (my family)attend First Baptist Church in Warwick, RI. We’ve been there now for eight years.
My daughter will be helping in VBT next week.
Amen! I was at Fenway on Monday night (9/3) and in a row of seven people THREE had iPhones. The other two both really liked theirs.
