iPhone, why did I wait so long?
I finally got an iPhone! When the first generation iPhone came out I was skeptical. My thoughts were justified when a friend got it and months later Apple took $200 off the price. Then shortly thereafter the phone started slowing down. Besides all that the iPhone only supported AT&T. Being a 10+ year subscriber to Verizon and their network, I was really reluctant to change.
Two weeks after owning the phone, I've only hit a few hiccups. The first day I didn't turn off my Verizon Blackberry Pearl and text messages only went to the Blackberry and calls went to the iPhone. After a quick call to AT&T Support they told me I'd have to finally turn off the Blackberry and the iPhone should take over. Sure enough, within 10-15 minutes things started working perfectly! The other problem was with my waived activation fee. I purchased the phone from a local AT&T store and was assured the $36 activation fee would be waived because I was switching mid-contract from Verizon. I got my first bill and of course the activation fee is on there. I'm hoping I can get this cleared up without too much of a hassle.
If you're a techie, if you like having everything in a central place, get the iPhone. The 3G version is worth it without a doubt. Between the apps and ability to navigate pretty much anything, the iPhone is indispensible.
