Re: Who bought an iPhone?
My wife bought me an iPhone for my birthday - what a woman!
I walked into the Ala Moana store Friday night around 8:30 PM and walked out with it 5 mnutes later. I didn't even think I'd get close to the store.
But...when I got home, I found my OS was not compatible and had to upgrade (from OSX 10.3.9 to 10.4.6.). So I had to go back to get the disk the next day. I wish they would have asked/told me.
Then it took about 8 hours for AT&T to activate.
Since then, it's been a joy. One of the things I love about it is that it powers itself down when not in use and back up when a call or text comes in. I don't have to turn it off.
I love that it gives me HawaiiThreads.com (and other websites) and easily zooms in and out. Two taps zooms in on readable bites of text, or I can move two fingers apart or together to zoom in or out.
I was standing in a HUGE line today (July 4) at Regal Dole for popcorn and spent the time reading the Internet Movie Database about goofs in Live Free or Die Hard (i.e. bullet holes disappearing and reappearing in windshield, etc). Then I saw many of them while the movie rolled.
Great feature: My phone contacts (and any other list in the iPhone) scrolls with the slide of a finger. My old phone required a button to be pressed. Repeatedly. Over and over.
A slide of the finger also scrolls through pictures in the library.
I love that it turns a web site or picture on its side when you turn the iPhone 90 degrees.
Downside: I have not figured out how to send email yet. Still getting error message. It also won't download email from a POP3 server (Roadrunner) if my computer has already downloaded it - first come first served.
I thought I could read it on both. Wrong.
Still, it's the coolest thing I've ever owned. It's the best phone interface I've ever seen. It's the most user-friendly tool I own.
Apple has definately raised the tech bar and soon everything we own will benefit from what they've done with this one device.
