I’ve had my iPhone 3G up and running for just over a week. And, while it isn’t acting as my main phone yet it giving me a chance to play with all the new features!
A lot has already been written on a lot of websites about it. So, I don’t need to cover any ground there.
So, I’ve been hugely impressed by some of the features, sadly o2’s 3G network isn’t amongst them.
Maps + GPS has been a revelation! It made finding an address on foot in London an absolute breeze! Though I’m seriously hoping that they’ll add Turn-by-Turn in the near future!
3rd Party Applications are a big bonus. As I only have an 8Gb I’m not going OTT on anything! Having said that I’ve got a few favourites Facebook, WordPress, YouVersion’s Bible and Super Monkey Ball.
My final iPhone bonus is MobileMe - Yes, it costs extra and yes, it took it’s time to get up and running. And yes, it isn’t fully “push” like advertised but there’s just something great about modifying a contact or adding a calendar event and instantly seeing it on your Mac/iPhone/Web Browser!
