iPhone is in the House

Amy’s iPhone arrived today. She’s bemoaning that she’s the only one that hasn’t had a chance to play with it. I did let her go through the activation process. But between Dallen and me, we’ve tried out every function on the phone. I did get a text message from Amy.

My impressions:

  • Simple setup process — worked fine for Amy
  • Very cool industrial design — heavier than I expected
  • Very cool browser experience
  • Love the gyroscope portrait / landscape
  • Mixed emotions about using iTunes
  • Would like more Config options in iTunes (email accounts)
  • Where’s the bluetooth sync?
  • Not convinced on email usability / functionality — I’m a long time smartphone user and have a lot of personal issues with how email should work (I’ve never been able to use Apple’s Mail application on my computer since it’s so limited).
  • Keyboard is cool implementation of technology — I think I could get used to it
