i have a confession to make
For the last two days I have been using an iPhone. I am sorry to the community and all those I have hurt in the process of dabbling in the world of Non-Customizable, Non-typeable, sweet little packages of Much Fluff, Little Substance.
It took less than 8 hours (six of them spent sleeping) for me to begin to detest the eyeFone. I really wanted to like the little sucker, because so many people rave about it. Watching YouTube on that big screen is cool, but really, the novelty wears off pretty quickly. Did anyone tell you there's only one button on the thing? OK maybe two, but only one that does anything worthwhile.
After putting up with it for just over two days and seeing exactly how Steve Jobs has suckered people into a media-marketing single-upgrade path channel (via iTunes-only, etc), I just couldn't stand being away from my QWERTY any longer.
And have you tried to type on the d@mn thing? If people tell you it gets better, and they will, they're lying to cover up a $4-500 mistake.
The lowdown: want (and have time for) only entertainment? Buy an iPhone. Want a serious communication tool? Stay Black (Berry).
They infringe on each others' territory, but don't think for a minute that the iPhone can keep you in touch with people the way a 'berry can.
Two days (and ~250MB of data) wiser,
Eric; submitted from my Curve - one of them, anyway :)
