So… Yeah. I admit it, I’m weak.
I’ve wanted an iPhone for months now, something about the UI just clicked with me, and I needed to get a new phone anyhow… so I caved and bought one on Saturday at the SF Apple Store.
I pity the suckers who lined up Friday though, as it was really easy to get one (though they were flying off the shelves) and I was in and out in a couple of minutes. Activation went smoothly and the newer version of EDGE* that AT&T rolled out Friday for data transfer is almost as fast as WiFi – so all that hot air that was written about it being slow is just that – bunk.
So very pretty, and really nice to use… top marks.
I’ll write up a proper review soon and post with photos, but suffice to say: so far, so worth it.
*despite what you may have heard EGDE is technically a 3G network, not 2G.
