Love it....

This is coming from a girl who does not own a single Apple product. I'm never a fan of apple and i always find iTunes a tad troublesome. I'm a strictly drag-and-put-file kind of person. What's with all the syncing? And further more you can only sync with one computer. After owning the iPhone for more than a month, i say it is a small price to pay for such a wonderful phone.

The main reasons why i love it (there are other frills which i'm too lazy to include)
1) User-friendly

After you get pass the hacking and jailbreaking (even this can be done within 10 mins), the rest is a breeze. From messaging to wifi, everything is just a tap away. This is especially good for I.T. not-so-savy people like me. hehe

2) Touch screen interface

You navigate by sliding your finger and tapping to enter.

3) Everything under the sun can be added

Just to name a few, you can have youtube, msn, icq (are there people still using icq?), weather, stocks, convertor, maps & location (it can pinpoint where your location is and the distance & time needed to travel to the another location), games (tons of it), wall papers and themes, even screen shots & etc...

4) iPod

You can listen to music, watch videos and access to iTunes. Sound & video quality is good too!

5) Price

It is relatively inexpensive. 399USD for 8G, 499 USD for 16G (excluding taxes). I've got mine (8G) for S$597.

However things i don't like about it are

1) Contacts

I have a hard time adding contacts. I've installed iSim but it doesn't work (it is supposed to transfer all your contacts from the sim card into the phone, but me being so suay, can't seem to get it work). Once you have the contacts in, you need to key in 2 phone numbers, with +65 and without (this is so that it can read the caller and the sender for messages.)

2) Where to repair?

I have no idea where to send this phone to if it spoils.

3) Typing

I must put in full concentration when i type. As it is touch screen, i often tab on the neighbouring letters. Annoying! I guess you need time to get use to it.
