iPhone is Mine
Filed Under Gadgets, Random Thoughts, Technology, iphone
Late Friday night I started reading the various blog and news sites discovering that the iPhone was selling out (which turned out to not be totally true..) regardless I decided to head out to the Apple Store just over the border in New Hampshire. I arrived to find about 20 people in line so we decided to stick it out. They came out and said they had well over 100 8gb iPhones left so I was good to go. It was certainly much better than some folks who had been sitting around in lines for days and camping out.. no need for that.
About an hour later I had my new shiny iPhone. And let me say it’s a pretty impressive device. The only thing I have been disappointed with so far is the battery life however I can’t totally blame that on the phone because I seem to work and live in the lowest service areas in all of Massachusetts so the damn phone keeps trying to acquire and transfer data over a low signal thus using more battery power.
Overall though I have been very impressed with it’s performance. It does what I ask it to do and doesn’t crash or freeze. Mobile Safari is a pretty nice mobile browser compared to the other shitty ones floating around out there all it needs now is some flash support to make it even better. The GPS functionality is really cool and usually it acquires my location in 5-10 seconds. Also you can take a screenshot of any screen on the iPhone if you hold the home button then hit the sleep button, it saves it to your photo roll.
Anyway it’s a short week here for me, in a couple days I head north to Canada to visit Jen’s family.. let’s hope that the data roaming feature works!
