I Just HAD Too...

I keep you in mind when iPhone II comes out! ;) It's SO cool! Now we can SMS, since it has a decent virtual keyboard... Still playing with it...

You can see it's my hand in the picture... :P

Very cool so far. I can watch Youtubes with the Wi-Fi and even send them to people. Got my best songs loaded up now. 8gb is OK for on the go... ^^

You know, I have a Motorola RAZR V3 too, and I had a hard time using it. One reason I got the iPhone. It's been easier to use than any cell phone I've had, so far. Since you are already an iTunes/iPod user, you are 9/10 home already!

One "problem" I have heard of is that Americans visiting Europe and beyond are getting reamed (thousands of dollars) because of roaming charge fees over there. They forget that by default, your iPhone is always checking for emails, etc. The ATT plans cover all that in the price (all you can eat networking) in the US.

But those wily devil foriegn operators are making huge profits from roaming charges, and have little reason to curtail them. Great article in The Economist about *that*. Did you get to visit those dudes in London and give my regards? ;)

Next time you are hassling, err, I mean visiting with your local Apple Genius, have them show you the iPhones features. Truly, a thing of beauty.

I hope I made it clear that the problem was with the iPhone, since it does so much behind the scenes, not AT&T in general. All roaming tends to be expensive, but if you don't know that it's going on, can be muy expensive! ^^ Sounds like you did the right thing exactly.

Apple London is where Steve Jobs just announced the iPhone for Britain soon. I bet it is awesome! Could be a lot more Mac users since Vista is even more horrible than the usual new Microsoft OS release. Some vendors are even allowing new PCs to have XP still, which MS never allows usually... ^^

The Economist is awesome! Best pub out there, I think. The online version is HERE Many of the world's leaders read it. A bit pricey, but you can get a company subscription, right? I'm sure you'll be passing it around the office, because it covers almost everything in the world! ^^

I want to see pictures soon! VOX allows you to batch upload from your PC. Know about that??

Hugs to being back! :)

If it's any comfort to you, it is only available in the US right now - soon to come to Britain. So we'll get all the bugs worked out for you, OK? ;)

It's also not cheap. I was just looking at all I want to do in one package, and it made sense to me. Compared to getting any other smartphone + new iPod. The Touch is like iPhone, without the phone. hehe. But to me, not having all the phone wireless can provide, limits the functionality I've always wanted. It has Edge high speed anywhere, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. Edge isn't as fast as some of the new wireless broadband technologies, but it's everywhere and sure beats the heck out of nothing! The real deal is the data plan - all you can eat (so to speak) data from AT&T. That use to be the killer - it could cost so much for the data connection, that you where afraid to use it. Now, the iPhone just does it behind the scenes, and you don;t have to worry about the cost each month! :)

So, it's the whole seamless package that makes it so cool! It can almost replace a laptop in many ways. Someone was talking about Pan's Labyrinth today, and just popped up the trailer on Youtube. Too cool!

When they dropped the price to $399 for the 8gb, I really didn't have a choice. ^^ And I do LOVE it!

OK, so let's get you re-hydrated now! ;)

The iPod Touch will be available worldwide soon (maybe now?) It's very like the iPhone (without the phone, of course). Still pretty cool with Wi-Fi, and there is a 16gb version.

Damn sexy indeed - Just like Maria! ;)
