I had originally felt that the iPhone was overhyped and prohibitively expensive but I’ve changed my mind. I’ve often said to people that I want a phone to make calls and text people, thats all. I’ll take a built in camera, it’s not essential but comes in handy. Anything more than that I thought was a waste of pocket space, nothing else ever managed to sell me on the idea of having a computer in my pocket. That is until I used the iPhone for a couple of minutes this morning.

iPhone you make my heart sing!

They are still not available in Europe as yet so it was a real treat. It’s not attached to any network yet so I couldn’t use it as a phone. But hey, give me the i part any day.

It is smaller than I thought. Which is good because it always seemed a little big to me in any promotional media I had seen.

The inclusion of the full Safari browser will change the way we view mobile applications forever. I hope the rest of the mobile manufacturers are taking notes.

You’ve all seen the touchscreen demos. It’s even better when you’re doing it yourself. The keyboard is so simple a child could use it and after a few moments you’ll be thinking ‘buttons? what buttons? who needs buttons’

I didn’t have long enough with the phone to go into a detailed review. I can honestly say though, having used the iPhone for a few minutes, I want one. I can already see how I would be lost without it.

Sorry about the rubbish pics. My Nokia6234 has a rubbish camera. Are you listening Nokia? Rubbish I tells ya!
