Here are my first thoughts on the iPhone:
- It an amazing high to hold such a sleek piece of electronic gadgetry
- Best moment: When I could connect to the wi-fi network at home and access gmail on the iPhone.
- Accelerometers on the phone rock
- Touch -to-click is addictive. Atleast overnight.
- Typing text on the phone is pain. Sweet pain initially. Irritating a while later.
- Downloading and installing applications on the phone is not easy.
- It is a little too sleek :-P
- Speaker output is poor - extremely extremely feeble.
PS:
Let the post not give you an impression that I was living below the poverty line all this while. Just that my Sony Ericsson W700i got royally screwed because of my overuse (or recklessness, as per dad) - Charger port not working, keys 2,5,8 not working and mouth piece not working.
So, under such dire circumstances, I reverted to my old Nokia phone. Within two days, its battery died down and all I had was a landline phone because it wont work without AC input. Subsequently, fearing social ostracization, I asked my friends for a spare phone. After employing the tactics of 'saam-daam-dund-bhedh' and 'beg-borrow-steal', finally Uss managed to unearth to his old 1100. Key 7 was not working. There was no battery cover. Atleast, it had enough battery to take me to mess and back! I owe a sincere thanks to my dear buddy!!
In between, Normal took pity on me and lent his swanky Nokia 5310 for a couple of days so that I can text in peace and put my strained relationship(s) back on track ;-) And in his own words 'God is great. Help the needy' ensures that he has a right over my iPhone the next time (and every time) he goes on a date.
