Yes i have a video log for you! I thought the iphone deserved a video log all it’s own. This is a review of the phone itself, positives and negatives, a bit about the different apps i’ve gotten, especially the music sequencer Beatmaker as well as my experience with Optus.
The video is about 10 minutes and 5mb to download. But of course i’m a terribly entertaining person so the time just flies by!
I failed to mention that the reason i got a white phone was because fingerprints are less visible on it, and my sock cover is used to wipe the screen every so often. Also the 16gb are very handy, already i’ve got 5gb on there and that’s with a small selection of music and only 4 or 5 new applications from the iTunes store.
For the curious, i’m on the $59 plan with $7 phone repayments for two years ($66 per month). This includes 500mb of data, $350 worth of calls (at 40c/30sec) each month, free access to Optus wifi hotspots (such as the State Library and Gloria Jeans *puke*). Also because i signed up before Aug 31st I should be eligible for the unlimited data the first month.
For the skeptical, yes i’m aware that this is basically a big massive ad for a commercial product. Essentially I believe in supporting Apple in the iPhone endeavour because the phones that Motorola and Nokia have been delivering to us for the last 8 years is pathetic. The technology developments are extremely slow and over priced. The iPhone is a MASSIVE leap in usability (which is my pet issue – phones should be EASY to use, not painful) though they too are now playing hte game of ‘trickling out the technology developments’ by not improving the camera, including video etc. But I cant wait two years, and if Apple drop the ball then, I’ll go to one of the competitors who will by then have caught on that mobile phones have evolved.
Already many of my friends will notice i’m contacting them more, smsing, emailing, sending pictures, becuse it is SO much easier now, it’s actually fun.
