I’ve finally spent my birthday moneys, plus a bit of my ever-struggling student loan, and bought myself one of those iPhone things.So far, I’m impressed. It’s slick. It’s elegant. It’s easy to use. The screen is beautiful. It syncs with my music, videos, contact, calendars and email without so much as a “Do you really want to do this? It might change something!” warning.
As usual with Apple kit, there are hundreds of people on Flickr who assume you want to see every detail of the unboxing, so I’ll leave that part to them. Suffice to say it was refreshing to be able to have a new phone without spending 40 minutes negotiating every detail of the contract with someone behind a desk. Activation was a bit slow, mostly due to the incompetence of the network here at Brayford Quay. However, activation was simple, and didn’t need a mountain of information. Number porting is the inevitable 5 working day wait whilst the people at T-Mobile and O2 negotiate between themselves over who exactly is responsible for my 11 digits. If you know my phone number, don’t worry. It won’t be changing.
Obviously I’ve only just got my new toy, so I’ll post an update in a few days with how it’s working out. Right now, I’m off to play.
