iPhone Impressions
Last week, I got an iPhone. I've always been a fan of Apple and I've had a number of iPods over the years as well as an AppleTV. I've never owned a Mac but used them extensively in college. I consider myself a PC fan with both a HP laptop and a HP desktop (Voodo Blackbird) both running Windows Vista (yes, I am a Vista fan).
I got my iPhone connected to the IBM corporate nfrastructure via Wi-Fi (clientless VPN through Lotus Mobile Connect is in progress). Setup was fast and easy. iNotes is impressive on the Safari web browser. Surfing the web, playing music and video and installing new applications are easy and intuitive My biggest complaint, however, is the touch screen keyboard. It's painful for me, someone with big fingers, to type. I'm constantly "pressing" the wrong key and having to correct myself. I was hopeful that after a week of constant use, I would become more adept. Unfortunately, this hasn't happened. However, I'm not giving up on the iPhone just yet. I'll give it a few more weeks.
As a longtime Blackberry user, I'm eagerly awaiting the release of the Blackberry Bold. I'm a big fan of my latest Blackberry the Curve 8300, that I've had for a little over a year. I'm also planing on testing the latest Nokia, Windows Mobile devices with Lotus Traveler as well as the upcoming Google Android smartphone.
