Soooo here’s a few thoughts, ha! About the iPhone 1st gen… One year late. But a review none the less.
It’s sluggish, the headphone jack is on the wrong side and it’s supercool!
Right… Well i noticed that it responds like a regular mac, ‘it has to actually load an app’ as my colleague calls it. I think it’s just annoying having to wait 1 second or so before i can browse my contacts. Or before the preferences show when i tab it’s icon.
T-mobile having the exclusive rights to the iPhone gives me updates specific for T-mobile users. So-called “carrier updates”. I think we all received them at some point. The funny thing is i’m not an official iPhone user for them, i use a pwnt 1st gen iPhone and do not have an iPhone specific contract (yes that’s another story). However T-mobile seems to think i do and sent me an update for their APN settings, network name and more of those carrier specific things. No, it’s not an update you get with any phone since it went via iTunes…
Another thing is, being used to the iPod touch that i constantly hold the phone upside down because of the headphone plug. The Touch has it on the bottom, which is much better in my opinion. The iPhone has it on the top.
And i went on a quest for headphone glory only to find that not many shops and stores sells cool, nice and proper headphones for the iPhone.
Luckily i found these:
Sexy! They’re in-ear so i hope they don’t keep falling out of my ears like the Apple ones do… They don’t fit at all! :(
And the ringtones are a bit lame… So i actually had to SSH into the damn thing and insert a bunch of custom crafted files into it… Ever heard of .caf files? I didn’t… Anyway, it’s just a mp4 in disguise… Silly apple peoples.
But it’s all sorted, i guess :)
