I’m a dork so I got an iPhone. My cell phone history goes something like this:
- Some brick-sized clunker from Sprint a million years ago.
- A StarTAC from Verizon. That phone was awesome. I had about four of them (one got run over by my truck, one was dropped in the Chesapeake Bay, etc.).
- A couple of different Treos on Verizon – always PalmOS and not Windows.
- A CrapBerry Pearl on Verizon. I really wanted to like this phone but I hated it (still do).
- iPhone 3G on AT&T
So far I like the iPhone. The AT&T network is as bad as I had feared. It’s bad.
There are several things I particularly like and several that I don’t like about the iPhone. Maybe I’ll share them with you.
Before I got the iPhone I had heard the complaints about the poor battery life. I really didn’t think it would be a problem for me but now that I’ve had the phone for a couple of weeks I have to say that it’s a major flaw. I’d much rather have a device that’s slightly larger with twice the battery life.
