Jul 31st, 2007 Got My iPhone!

Me and my new iPhone (box)Well, folks, I got my iPhone (courtesy of my generous and empathetic parents)! I’ll [hopefully] have a more detailed review later, but I can’t help but post a few initial thoughts. Keep in mind I’ve already had a month to play with friends’ iPhones.

  1. The AT&T sales rep said of the 490+ iPhones they’ve sold, only three had been returned — two for replacements, one because the owner couldn’t leave Verizon without breaking his contract.
  2. My absolute favorite feature so far is the iPod muting when a call comes in.
  3. If it wasn’t already clear to me, now I absolutely understand how 1.0 this software is — there’s no chance of listening to the iPod while surfing MobileSafari until a software update comes.

    If mobileSafari is crashing the iPod.app a lot, try resetting the iPod. The crashes were happening to me all the time when I first got it; after I did a reset they only come back once in a while, and are always cured by another reset (which I do about once every few days).

    I mean try resetting the iPhone (hold sleep/hold button while pressing the home button).

    Enjoy. I feel like the hype is so mixed, but all my friends keep buying in. :)

    oh man. you are so cool. can’t wait for a sweet review.

    And I find it slightly ironic that the captcha for this comment asks me to type “returned.”

    Congrats on the iPhone! I just got mine too and it was even better than I was expecting.

    I can surf Safari fine while listening to music…strange.

    SWEET!

    Truth be told, my MobileSafari woes were probably due to surfing Flickr, a JavaScript intensive site. I’ve yet to try the iPod+MobileSafari combo since tonight’s software update, though. We’ll see how that goes tomorrow.

    Congrats! I’ve still gotta await the Australian release before I can get my hands on one :(

    Who’s that in the background? It looks like your fairy godmother.
