I bought my first iPhone in December of 2011. It’s been two months since my new friend entered my life and I can summarize the experience in two words: I’m impressed! Yes, it was worth every penny.
So what do I like? The following is my Apple iphone “Like List”:
- The touch screen is great. The “finger mouse” works well.
- Being able to expand or contract the screen size makes browsing so much better.
- I can see websites now.
- The GPS will save my marriage. My wife and I now know where we are driving!
- The camera. Yes, the camera and video is amazing. I love them!
- Email works great. I was concerned since I came from two Blackberries. Setup and the interface/functionality works fine.
- The screen is beautiful.
- The Calendar works great. Easy to use and functional.
- Battery life is acceptable and getting better with the updated OS, provided one disables unused or unneeded features like GPS & the Time-zone setting.
- The Apps. Well, yes. I LOVE the Apps. The variety, depth, practicality, and innovation this represents is simply amazing.
- I now see the viability of mobile marketing as finally a legitimate channel. I get it.
- Bottom line: the overall functionality of this all-in-one device is impressive. It’s almost everything I need in one device, which I believe was Steve Job’s goal. It just does most of what you need doing for fun, business, life, and work.
I’m now hooked. I’m still a Windows 7 PC guy and always will be. I’m sure my life will become a blend of PC/iPhone/iPad. Steve Jobs has left a legacy in each phone. Simple innovation and functionality. It works.
Thanks, Apple. Sorry Mr. Blackberry–it was “bold” and fun while it lasted.
And yes, more later as the story evolves…
