First week with the iPhone 3G
Picked up my 16GB white iPhone 3G last Saturday after waiting a week and my anger towards AT&T is now a faint memory. I've retired my Samsung Blackjack to emergency standby status and here's a quick take on my likes, dislikes and the apps I'm currently rocking on the new handset:
LIKES/COOL
- Exchange sync - I can now easily access my company's global address book and all my email folders. Managing email is easier too.
- App Store/iTunes ecosystem
- Ease of use
- Wi-Fi
- Internet Browsing
- Pandora - works well even over EDGE network
- Auto correct keyboard - I type faster than on the Blackjack's QWERTY keyboard
- VPN although having trouble accessing company SharePoint site with Safari
- Can't make calls from Calendar
- Can't customize which email folders sync (currently syncs all)
- Battery life - increased functionality/usability= more use and battery drain
- No App Store demos to try before buy
- AIM
- Pandora
- Bloomberg
- HoldEm
- eBay
- Remote
- Turn by turn navigation
- Ilium eWallet - app is available but waiting for PC desktop and/or Mac version so I can sync my records from Blackjack
- Exchange sync enhancements
- More apps
