How do you like it so far? I'm thinkin about getting one as well since my contract with Sprint ended on the 30th. I'm still unsure though....its a toss up between the Iphone, Nokia N95 and the Samsung Instinct.

If I do end up getting the Iphone, it'll be unlocked and I'll be signing with T-mobile.

 

I don;t think it would be worth it to pay to get an unlocked iPhone. Not that an N95 is exacly "inexpensive."

The browser works very well, the 3rd party software is GREAT. Sound quality of the iPod features and the phone features are excellent. Battery life isn't very good, it's acually a little worse than I expected, but it's far from a deal killer, since it is so easy to recharge since I have iPod cables everywhere.

I am using gmail behind mobileme for email and contacts. Mobileme updates any changes with my address book to gmail, and vice versa. By using mobile me, it allows me to sync with my work, just like I would my black berry, so I get my office calendar, contacts and email, but seperatly from my personal stuff. It's ALMOST perfect. I can't sync my google calendar with it (yet) so I have to use a seperate app to show my google calendar, but I put the icon right NEXT to the regular calendar icon, so it's not TOO bad.

I am hitting the wrong buttons, especially on the keyboard a little much, but it's actually getting a LITTLE easier as I go.

The number port went through in seconds, setup was fast. I have applications loaded, custom playlists just for the iPhone, all of my contacts, calendar, email, and even a custom wallpaper setup already.

I am really happy with it.

This is by far the longest post I've seen in the Windy City in years!

I'm glad you are thrilled with the Iphone. I've heard and saw some great reviews as well.

However, I've decided to go with the Samsung Instinct. Not as great as the actual Iphone but with all the additional features, to me, it makes up for it. I guess it just all depends on the user's preference. Plus, I'm getting a steal on it.

The only two things I really liked about the Iphone, is the high res screen and the full web feature for the internet.

 

Cool. I want to see your phone at the next meet.

Like I said, the iPhone isn't the end-all, be-all phone for EVERYONE. It's a cool phone, but it has plenty of limitations, so if you can (or can't) live with those it helps make your decision for you.

 

Now back to our regualarly scheduled ing.
