Honestly, I did not think it would come to this. But here’s photographic proof that I do indeed carry around two mobiles (as of this week) — my rather-new Nokia E72, which I love, and a brand spanking new (I assume it’s not a refurb) iPhone 3G.
Thoughts so far:
- I no longer have to pay for work-related calls on my mobile. Wahey!
- Why is there no manual? I wanted to RTFM. Quick Start Guides are boring.
- It doesn’t feel particularly robust.
- I object to having to save credit card details on the iTunes store just so I can sync it up.
- It’s ever-so-slightly wider than the E72.
- Having the email set to Push while I’m in the office, sitting at my PC, is highly annoying (it’s off now).
- A physical QWERTY keyboard is just so much more satisfying to use compared to a touchscreen haptic one.
- ‘Sent from my iPhone’ is so boring; how about ‘Sent from my iPhone, apologies for the spelling mistakes because I can’t use a touchscreen’?
- I’m not too bothered about having access to hundreds of thousands of apps. It’s for communicating, not games.
- That said, I can now download any book-related app. Market intelligence, I call it.

Now you need to buy an orange/brown comb for your back pocket and start collecting keys. All the keys. It doesn’t matter if they are actually yours, or what they open, you must collect them. On a belt clip. Branded ‘Rich Boss’.

No prizes for guessing who that is.

“I object to having to save credit card details on the iTunes store…”
I agree. A friend bought me an iTunes gift cert and I can’t use it without opening my credit info to them. I wonder if a gift debit card number would work? Thin edge of the wedge, they want you to be able to charge 2000 apps any time, €1000 even if they are only €0.50 each.

Another reason why I’ve never used iTunes and never will. Except for work.
