The start of the slippery slope…! Once you go Mac, you never go back..!!!

True story: A friend of mine was very proud a few months ago with her new Blackberry Pearl. I’ve had the iPhone since Day 1 but I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. She navigated to a web page to show that the Pearl could do the web too and handed it to me. I honestly could not figure out how to move around the page it was on or even go back one page. She thought I was messing with all sorts of settings, but I was just trying to find something that said “Back”..! And this is the guy who got the nickname ‘GadgetGav’ for having so many gadgets. I honestly couldn’t figure it out. A few weeks later her finance got an iPhone and I think it’s only a matter of time until she gets one. Probably June as the Crackberry is a corporate phone, so she probably has to wait for the enterprise stuff that’s coming.

Also, I found these films made by Power Support especially the matte finish one helps with the smeary face.

If you figure out how to teather the iPhone to your computer via bluetooth and use the computer as an Edge modem, let me know!!!!

Ian – I have had my iPhone since November. I saw Faith’s at Stowe (it works fine in VT, it is a contract problem on cell vendors) and knew I needed one. By far, it is tne nicest PDA I have had – and I have had various Palms, Blackberry and Win 5.0 mobile devices (the worst). The phone reception blows away the Palm devices (600, 650 and 700) and the sharpness of the display is fantastic! I even check out your blog with it every few days and love the feature where the pictures can be blown up by tapping and pulling. The iPhone is to phones what the MINI is to cars!

Hey, don’t hold out for the 3G iPhone. It may be faster than the Edge iPhone but surfing isn’t nearly as visceral…

The calendar is just spank’n, I used the alarm clock at AMVIV this weekend, you get to choose the alarm tone, it’s just so kool!

Murray, I gotta check out the hands free thing.

SNID, ad Sonic Restaurants to that list. They have been advertising in Mass since 1996, but the closest Sonic is in Allentown, PA. Not that it looks like great food by any standard – but I see the commercials everyday and I have no way of even trying their food. That stinks about AT&T service!!! I just switched from Verizon, and their service was MUCH superior to AT&T for where I live/work/drive BUT the IPHONE wasn’t at Verizon

You still cannot buy an iPhone in Vermont as there is no AT&T wireless up here.

Some day, I’m going to make a list of all the things I see commercials for that don’t even exist in Vermont.

Ian~
I like the normal layout myself. I just got an IPhone about 3 weeks ago and I’m glad I pulled the plug and just did it. I too, was trying to hold out for the G3 version but my other phone broke and the Iphone was the phone I wanted. It’s just sooo functional for everyday use it’s hard to not have one. The calender feature is excellent, the web browsing is good. I flew to Kansas for business and rented some movies thru ITunes for a couple of bucks and watched them on the plane trip.
I’m slowly Apple-izing my home. Hope all is well!

Nice Ian ! Yes I use mine in the MINI with he Dension IceLink Plus and it peforms flawlessly. Even fades the music out when you get a call and fades it in when its over. For hands-free dialing, AT&T offers the service for $4.99/month.
