I got an iPhone today. Finally I buckled under peer pressure... well actually more of my own desire and couldn't resist the temptation to own a phone that I had been longing for for so long. Anyway...
iPhone is cool. The ONE concern I had was with the reported low call volume. BUT, I don't think that's the case. Well.. it isn't very loud even I turn the volume all the way up. But I don't have any trouble hearing at all. The headset that comes with phone works well too. The speaker is very limited however and is not very loud. So the speaker phone function is kinda useless if the background noise is loud.
Otherwise... everything works as advertised. Typing is actually not too bad. The software does a very good job of correcting errors. The browser works well... except for some websites. Navigation and interface are just short of amazing.
I got the phone working in less in 5 minutes. Got my gmail set up in less than 1/2 min. I am very happy with the phone so far.

Thoughts, random thoughts mostly. I guess it's a good idea that I write them down. Just in case...

how come wittybb didn't login (and get up so early!?!?)
anyway... i want an iPhone too.... well, i guess i just have to stick w/ my auto-shut-off phone for another yr or so - as I think they said HK won't have it until 2008.....
I did get to play with the iphone before I bought it. In fact I used the demo to make a few phone calls and sent a few messages. Once I checked the call volume I was convinced that it's ok. I don't use the two finger zoom that often unless it is absolutely necessary. Most of the time you can just double tap the screen to zoom it and out to a column.
I played with my friend's iPhone and I was impressed. The zoom in/out using the fingers were really simple and easy to use. Plus the web pages were displayed in full instead of the slim-down mobile pages.
I also watched videos and it was awesome. I expect the next iPhone rush will occur near the holiday season as the existing phone contracts run out on most users who hadn't made the switch yet.
adding the comment from my Q .... =) kakaka ... yeah ... read news abt 2nd gen of iPhone this week already ... but release in Asia could be a lng wait ... - wittyBB
don't understand why take them long to release in Asia. Funny that my mom said she wants one too.
JC.... Finally you got one. I have own one, but I played with an iphone before and it does what it is designed for. I think I will get one soon. An Iphone really makes your life much easy when you are away from your computer.
get one get one...
