Got The iPhone, Finally
October 12th, 2007 | by Scott Weaver |
Today, I heard a knock at the door and walked outside to find a small box. As we (my wife and I) have been receiving gifts for our soon-to-be-born little girl, we both thought the box to be something baby-related. That wasn’t the case. No, it was an iPhone and although the box is black, it was shining from inside its package with all the glory of Apple.
It was supposed to be an anniversary gift from my wife but apparently, it had come really early and she hadn’t gotten to it in time to shield it from view. Hey– not my fault. 
I didn’t have more than 15 minutes alone with my new little package when we had to rush off to pick up a baby crib, but as soon as we were back I was all over it. iTunes updates, music syncing, address book filling, ringtone setting, you name it.
Although I realize the initial glow of the iPhone will fade after a spell, I do see the beauty that is the iPhone. So much so that I forgive Apple for omitting basic staples of such an awesome phone (like cut and paste, video with the camera, flash support, bluetooth syncing). Also, I realize that most of these things will be covered in future releases and that their plan is to probably keep people interested while they release the already-created “features” along with bug fixes as they come up.
All annoyances aside, the machine is glorious. If you don’t have one, get one. I went from a Blackberry Pearl to the iPhone and the iPhone rocks the world of the Pearl.
Next comes my real love– my baby girl. Set for release on November 10th of this year!
Stay tuned.
