iPhone
Posted: Sat 17 April, 2010 Filed under: Domestic, Geeky, iPhone, Technology 4 Comments »After 18 months with my Sony Ericsson C905, it’s time to update my phone again. The Sony Ericsson has been a good phone, and there’s lots of bits I like with it. It’s getting some problems with its keypad and so on now, but it’s been an OK phone all round. I haven’t used the camera on it as much as I thought/hoped I would, and really it’s been mainly used (as are most of my phones in the end) for the basics – calls, text messages and emails, and internet access.
So with camera-resolution being less of an issue, I’ve decided to take the leap and get an iPhone. Herself swears by hers, and the other people I know with one also swear by it. I’m still unconvinced by the touchscreen – I’m used to touchtyping text messages on the normal phone keypad, and it seems a bit weird to not have that possibility with the iPhone. But I’m sure I’ll get used to it.
It’s going to be an interesting experience. I’ve got reservations about it, but the iPhone is the best of the bunch at the moment, and there was absolutely nothing else that appealed at all, nor anything that’s coming out in the near future. Should be entertaining, anyway.
You’ve got it already? If not, wait! New one out in June.
I recently tried to use an ‘old’ mobile phone, with real buttons for a keypad, it was horrid. Felt ‘wrong’. Amazing how quickly we adapt/forget.
Ordered, not yet received.
I’m not super-fussed about whatever comes in with the 4G one – the 3GS is already more than I probably need, so all will be fine, I’m sure. Of course come June when the 4G comes out I may change that opinion, but I doubt it.
I still tend to hit the x (delete) when I’m aiming for the m, but otherwise have found typing very easy to manage, and use it for most emails. Even for blog posts, sometimes.
