Following the Mob
Since my mobile (cellphone or handphone for non-Brits) contract has terminated, I upgraded to the very shiny black 16GB iPhone 3Gs. I’ve got to admit that when thinking about which phone to upgrade to, I was a little apprehensive about picking the iPhone since it’s just so common. But having delved closer, I can see why it’s so popular. It looks good and is fairly easy to use. I like that it uses iTunes so I’ve only got one piece of software to deal with my iPod and iPhone. No need to have multiple software to clutter up the computer.
There are some way cool apps you can download for it. My favourite so far is probably Urbanspoon with its scope feature giving that augmented reality feel to it. There’s also What Knot to Do by Columbia, the outdoors clothing people with a guide on knots! Language Translator is pretty good too and the auto detect language tool works fairly well when I tested it with what few languages I know.
I do miss real buttons though. The on screen keyboard is fine, but takes a little getting used to it. Not sure how well it’d work for those with fat fingers.
