iPhone 3G

Yeah.. I woke up and got in line at 4am on Friday July 11th at the local AT&T store.  Had to get the iPhone 3G, everyone knows I have wanted the iPhone since it came out but felt it was inadequate for a couple of reasons.  I splurged a bit and got the 16Gb model, and yeah I love it and am totally addicted to this thing.  Its both one of the most beautiful phones made one of the most functional UI’s I have come across.

It is absolutely going to change the enterprise phone / handheld landscape in the next couple of years.  RIM has nothing on these guys, well except for the fact that companies have invested tons of money into RIM’s inferior service.  I have always disliked RIM due to so many points of failure within the Blackberry structure.

Windows mobiles were in my opinion way better then Blackberry, however the devices were very unstable.  The UI just sucked.  But still I would take a windows mobile device over a blackberry any day.

Apple has blown them all away.  Stability, UI, exchange active sync, cisco vpn client, applications (finally) and the absolute best thing of all, HTML email support!  I hate HTML emails, but I love the fact that I can view them now when people send them.

Thank you Apple for creating THE most amazing handheld device ever.  10 years ago I had discussions with people on the future of handheld PDA’s and phones, and what I envisioned.  It’s like you guys heard me and built exactly what I dreamed of, but even better of course.
