I still love it!!!!

For those of you who don’t have one, it really is a wonderful piece of technology. And, the Edge network actually works faster for me than my Treo did on Alltel. And best of all, it does not do a self-reset, does not lock up and actually works all the time. Unlike the Treo. And I took very good care of my Treo using all the recommended utility programs to make sure it runs. But in the end, the Treo is too much like a windoze box. Why use technology if you have to use programs to keep them running right. Why not use technology that you can use right out of the box and not have to add anything to do make them “just work.”

And, IMHO the iPhone is just as good for a business person or professional as the Treo and from what I can tell from other crackberry users, the Blackberry too. I can do everything and actually more on my iPhone than I could on my Treo. And yes, perhaps I can’t edit a word document on my iPhone without adding a third party program, but that is why I have my MacBook with me 24/7. And, you can’t edit a word document on the Treo without a third party either.

The built in Safari browser is really very good. And a lot of sites are now using the iPhone plug-in to make their sites even better on the iPhone. How many are doing that for the Blackberry or Treo? None that I can find.

And, as to the price change Jobs did. So what!!!! I got a credit from AT&T for $200.00 and even if I didn’t, I knew as most did that Jobs would do just as he did. The iPhone is going to do just what we all thought it would . It will change the way people look at cell phones and PDA’s. Once again, Apple is going to change the way people look at technology and the others will be let trying to play catch up. After all, look at all the iPhone want-to-be’s now that are coming out. It is laughable.

There are those who say, what if Apple comes out with a next generation iPhone. I hope they do. And the best thing about the iPhone, I can update its firmware by just plugging it into my MacBook and letting iTunes do an update. Updating and improving existing iPhones will be as easy as sending out a “windows” update. But, unlike a windows update, the update for the iPhone will actually work. Each time the firmware has been updated on the iPhone now, ,there have been little improvements. And there will be more to come when our new operating system comes out in October. I look for there to be some changes for the iPhone too.

So, for those who don’t have an iPhone, take a hard look at one. It really is a great tool. And please, please don’t cut it down unless you actually spend some time actually using one. You owe yourself that much.
