Still the phone.

Filed under: Comm

I have been playing with my new iPhone almost constantly since I got it last week. It’s the best phone system I have had, I already have over 7 pages of apps, although I will be going through those as soon as I get a moment or two and culling them down to something less than three or so pages. At least I hope to do that, might find that I like all the ones I have picked up so far. Although I am betting that there are a few that I am going to get rid of, just from briefly looking at them. I am currently spending time looking for a good to do list application. I have downloaded several but they weren’t that good to be honest. They were either too much trouble to use or just plain troublesome and not worth even turning them on. I am keeping an eye on the store, though. And yes, I am being somewhat cheap and trying all the free ones first. It only makes sense, especially with not being able to get a refund if you buy something that you don’t like. If I would have had to pay for all the free ones that I have already deleted I would be not only apologizing to my wallet I would be quite pissed.

The apps are really icing on the cake for the iPhone. There are so many to choose from that you can find almost whatever you want, though it’s faster to download them on your broadband at home or at the local coffee shop. I have also found the texting to be a whole lot easier and faster on the phone than on my previous one. Now that they can do landscape mode with the texting it certainly makes a difference. I used texting on my friends before I got my own and at that time it was still a bit of a pain to type, but it was much easier than the phone I had at the time. So now it is even better, I can be so much more annoying to my friends, even without a Bluetooth headset.

Phone talk.

Filed under: Hmmm

I am thinking I need a new phone. Ok, not thinking I am sure I need a new phone. My old one tripped a couple of times and still feels its pains. I was looking at what is available, even thinking of a VoIP phone system but I really want to stick with a cell system. I probably need to phones one for work and one to replace my old one. Luckily, almost like I planned it, I am just about eligible for the upgrade discount. Probably not as exciting to you as it is to me, but I am somewhat hyped about it.

If you’ve been keeping track you probably know I am a fan of the iPhone, and want to get one for myself as soon as I can. I know they are coming out with a 3.0 for their OS and I am looking forward to seeing what that might bring. Plus, I just recently saw that they might, maybe, possibly, be announcing something new soon. The new generation of iPhone? I guess they have a reputation for being ahead of the curve and I am really looking forward to seeing if they remain there. If they announce something good and it is coming soon then I will probably just coax my current phone along and wait until they release the new thing. After talking about the bookstore you won’t be surprised to hear I am a bit excited about the iPhone’s connection to Kindle and Amazon. That is just like a bonus. Between the phone and my laptop I could wander around everywhere and still remain pretty much connected. Which means I would be able to bother everyone with my thoughts that much easier. How nice is that? More free opinions for you, it’s almost like Christmas isn’t it. Yes, I do amuse myself. Thank you. Off to go check on phones some more.
