Thumbs up Got an Iphone 3G

I've always been a gizmo guy, but really haven't bought into the cellphone thing till recently. Guess cell phones had been out for several years before I even got one.

Anywho, picked up an Iphone couple weeks ago. This damn thing rocks. Carry all my photos, loaded up with about 20 albums, subscribed to some cool podcasts. Great little games out there for it. Handy utilites. Google maps and the GPS is just genius. Internet browsing in a pinch.... do a lot of traveling so its sweet to pull out and catch up when hanging in airports and things.

Oh and the phone works well too! HIGHLY recommend it!

I love mine as well, the only downfall is a weak battery life and no MMS viewing within the phone itself, you have to go to viewmymessage.com

The phone quality is great, always have updates for the phone to improve signal etc.
Fewer dropped calls!

Great camera as well.

I have some cool apps loaded.
Dynolicious
Pocket Guitar
Asphalt 4
I heart Radio
GL Golf
checkers
Shazam

I have the first iPhone I was gonna get a 3G but I have read some where that Apple is gonna update to a bigger camera and bigger gigs for the MP3 player part.

I love my iPhone. I like looking in the Apps store and getting all of the free apps.

A+ for the iPhone.

My buddie went and looked at the storm and he said that he iPhone is much more smooth operatoring phone compared to the storm. The iPhone works off of tuch not pressure like the storm does. The storm has spring behind the screen, I can see that being a problem. IMO

iPhone Rocks!

theres some pro-blackberry dude at my school that is constantly bragging about how the storm is so much better, yet when i ask him what makes it better he just says the keyboard goes double letters when its vertical...ooh big plus.

Only frustrating thing about my iphone 3g is that after owning it for a couple months, it started booting me off the internet or anything I'm doing online. It does it everytime after about 10 minutes of being online.
