I am back this week. The real culprit for my infrequent posts? The iPhone, of course. I have been playing with the iPhone all week, bending it to my will. Results so far? Eh. Not bad. I don’t have much to add to the conversation. But that never prevented me from blogging before. So here is my mini-review: What’s to like:
- Interface via Apple. Simple set up. Easy access. The user-interface for calendar, contacts and phone are brilliant. Pulled all my mailboxes from itunes. The whole set up process and the most used applications was flawless.
- No problems syncing up with the computer through iTunes.
- Great sound and 3g connection is superb. My building can be hit-and-miss for Edge. 3g connection is great.
- Able to surf the internet and visit sites in their actual form, using Safari. No truncated or funked up sites through the usual phone browsers. These are the actual sites. And with 1Password, getting to secure sites is a breeze.
What’s to Complain About:
- I want Mobile-me to be an advantage, not a threat (I have avoided cloud syncing until I hear better things from those on the bleeding edge).
- I miss my click wheel. I know that poking your screen is the principal behind the iPhone. Still, I miss moving around with my thumb.
- Uhm, did my phone just crash. Hard to say. Without the spinning beach-ball-of-death, I can’t tell if it is crashed or just thinking of crashing. Only happened twice. Never happened on my last phone. Of course, my last phone could only do 1/10 of what this thing does.
- App store is pretty sparse. In terms of productivity tools or things for the lawyer, I have found two apps worth mentioning. Reviews for both, in the next post.
Indifference:
- I think I can get used to the keyboard
- ATT customer service. When combined with Apple’s stellar customer service it should come out to a zero sum.
- Not for businesses. Really? We shall see.
Look forward to providing more about how this becomes a tool for our law office in the days to come.
