iPhone

For my birthday, my wife got me an iPhone.


Before this, I had a Nokia E63 and wondered what all the fuss is about with the iPhone. Now, I can see what it was all about. I'm still getting to grips with it but have managed to download a few apps I found and a few that were recommended to me by friends.


Within a few days, my phone now provides:


Phone
Free Video Call Phone
Camera
Video Camera
Calculator
Personal Organiser
Diary
Torch
Heart Rate Monitor
Business Reference Tool Kit
Social Networking Gadget
E-Mail
Free Instant Messenger
Games Console
Calorie Counter and Fitness Checker
Stopwatch
Weather Forecaster
Sat Nav Tool / Navigations
Radio
TV
Stereo
Sleep Inducer


It makes you wonder what all the gadgets around the house are for!


The quality of the photos is great, the speed of navigation from app to app is great, the download speed is quicker than the PC (using the same Wi-Fi broadband router).


When I received a free video call from my parents today, who are abroad, and we can see and talk in real-time for free it just compounded all the reasons why it is a fantastic piece of kit.


If you have been thinking of getting one, I'd say go for it. Just get a case to protect it. The one my wife got me is a case with a leather flap that folds down like a policeman's notebook style so it can go into your pocket without getting damaged and it's easy enough to open it up when you need (all the time!)
