Lets get the important bit over with first! Am I still as happy? Without a doubt yes! Its unlike any device I have ever owned.. why? because its simple! it just works without any effort. Ok so no multi tasking which on a couple of occasions has been a little frustrating.. but that is the only complaint/frustration I have had.
To explain a little further, its the little things that make the difference. If you don't already know its a touch screen device which I did vow only 18 months ago I would never do again. But this is different. and it seems like such a small things but they all add up. For example calling a company that has an IVR system you need to key 6 to speak to a person, Move the phone away from your ear and it unlocks itself :) press the big (no fiddly little touch screen buttons here) keypad button press 6 and your away.. It may not sound allot but my old phone was a nightmare with IVR's I used to hang up and wait till i got home and used the house phone!
Another item I always had problems with on handsets is email, most claim to handle it but I have always had problems with it, using my gmail account on the iPhone all i had to do was enter the account and passwords.. that was it! and its worked ever since.
Many people complain about battery life, And yes i do have no choice but to charge it every day! but who cares? im using it all day for so many different things! I'd far sooner be recharging each day having used it fully than have a battery that last days on a device I dont use.
I dont need to tell you about Apps! we all know that apple really have sewn this up! and their is pretty much an App for everything. To give you an idea.. heres what I have been using most. Facebook app, TweetDeck, Tapatalk (Plugin for Forums that The Camping Forum is now using! its brilliant and easy!), Ebay, Flickr, Google Earth, TrailGuru, Skype, Tesco Finder (It locates food items in every store genius!) Yell (found the number Chinease takeaway whilst in tesco's and orderd in the Q and collected on way home! brilliant!), Sky + (You can even set up programs to record when your out n about, Great for when im working nights and see a program advertised), Say no to 0870, And thats just the ones Im using all the time!
Its been a while since I'v had a mobile device that I really do find a joy to use! If your in the market for a new phone and don't have an iPod yet? then this could be the device for you.
