said by forefun:I actually find that using the iPhone is a very gratifying experience.
I have used several devices for checking email when mobile.
Old Motorola Flip Phone with Windows Mobile
Nokia 6820
Palm tethered via Bluetooth
Palm Treo
Blackjack I
None of them have ever really wowed me.
In fact, it always seemed like a chore to do anything on these devices whether it be checking email, surfing the web, etc. Now all of these things just seem to work the way I want. There some situations that are just satisfying when using the iPhone.
To list a few:
Browsing iTunes music previews using Wifi or 3G
Downloading the SBUX song giveaway's while I am still at the store.
Snagging a free Wifi Signal to check email in random places (This thing picks up just about everything)
3G is OK, but Wifi is very fast on this device and really makes the experience rock.
I find that I still need to bring a laptop for travel, but only for work stuff. If I could leave the work behind, the iPhone would be all I need on a trip.
I have to agree with you on every point. I have tried so many phones and this one has gotten the most use for me. I couldn't be happier.
