So I’ve had my iPhone for a little over a week now… Here’s how I feel about it

1) It freezes! Sometimes it’ll just freeze up for a few minutes and pushing the top button once or twice will get it back. However, last Friday, and then again yesterday it completely froze, white screen! Would not do anything! I tried all kinds of combination of buttons to get it to work. Eventually after a few hours, pushing the top button and the front button got it back to working again.

2) Voice mails take forever to show up! Sometimes it will be just a few minutes before I am notified of a Voice mail, other times it will be HOURS later! When I first got the phone I had to turn it off and back on to even be notified, maybe as you have the phone longer it’ll get faster?! lol

3) It takes 30-45 seconds from the time I select “Contacts” to the time that I can actually start looking for contacts! Very annoying! I do have nearly 300 contacts and lots of groups, but still, it should not take this long

4) No MMS!?!

5) Yesterday I was txting about 4 people back and forth to discuss this weekends camping trip, I got 4 txt notifications at nearly the exact same time, then when I went to read the txt, the last bubble was off the bottom of the screen and I could not pull it up to the top, nor get to the keyboard to reply to the message. Going back to the home screen and then back to the txting screen fixed this issue

6) When using Bluetooth in my car, I hear a horrible horrible echo of myself. Not sure what is causing this, it’s almost as if the car and the iPhone are both picking up my voice! My old phone did not experience this.

7) The speaker phone is very quiet.

8) An AIM client that will stay signed in even when leaving the app

9) It seems as though if when you are in some apps, you cannot get phone calls?

10) Battery life!! Even with the 3G and Wifi turned off the battery life is not very good. I was expecting to not get the best life out of it, but this seems a bit excessive!

11) No copy/paste!?

Over all though, I still think it’s am amazing phone! I love it.

iPhone Experience

Sooo. I had an iPhone in my HANDS last night! I was just SECONDS away from getting one.

I get to the Apple store at 4:45. There’s no sign out front that says they are sold out. So I ask. She has says that they have 16gig whites left. Exactly what I want! And there’s NO LINE! So I walk right in, the guy goes to the back and gets it. Comes out and we go through the activation process. We enter my billing address and all that then my phone number to port it. Get to the next screen and it says “This number cannot be ported in this region”. So I call AT&T and the Apple store guy calls AT&T.

The AT&T people tell me that because I am in the Central market they cannot port the number to the PAC market! Very annoying! So we try scirting the system. I give the Apple store guy all my Iowa information, since I can still get bills there. Then it says that the address is not found! How can my PARENTS HOME ADDRESS not be found. We have lived there for 15 YEARS! I know my fucking address. So then I give him the only other Iowa address that I know, and it says that the address does not have AT&T service! UGH! So then we call AT&T AGAIN! This time they tell me that I can go into the AT&T store and they can transfer the number. WTF! If they can do it IN THE STORE, why can SHE NOT DO IT ON THE PHONE!

It should not be this hard to fucking get an iPhone. First I should not have had to wait OVER A MONTH to even get my HANDS on one and secondly I should not have to go into the fucking store to get a phone! So now my damn iPhone is on order from the store and I have to wait another 7-10 BUSINESS DAYS to get my fucking phone! UGH!

I hate you AT&T already!
