Should you buy an iPhone?

Well I cannot decide for you but I can tell you about my experiences. I have been using Apple computers for a little over a year and I now work on Apple computers as a side job. I was on the internet that Jan. morning when they introduced the iPhone, I was so amazed I couldn't wait to get one.

So cut to July, I waited two weeks so I could play with it and test it in store before I bought it. I bought it and ran home and plugged it in to my computer (MacBook), for me it could not have been easier. I plugged it in, iTunes came up and I walked right through everything in about two minuets. I already had AT&T so I added the basic iPhone plan to my family plan, 200 texts, voice mail, and unlimited data (19.99/a month). 

My first issue......

On the second day I had it I found that iPod software part would crash when loading some internet sites, not that bad, but it was annoying. (It seems to have been fixed in update 1.0.2)

My second issue......

I must tell you the truth here, this was my fault, I had hacked the iPhone and installed a SSH shell, so when I went to install update 1.0.1 it locked up and I had to restore it. (And then I re-hacked it LOL).

My third issue.....

I never liked that anyone around me could see my new text message, well I found away around that when I was playing with Passcode. If you do not want others to see your in coming love notes then turn on Passcode and select no under text preview.

Now I have heard other complaints, but that is all that I had. I'm sure if you Google "iPhone issues" you'll find all kinds, but remember that they maybe happening to two people or 200.

iPhone open in new Window!

So I like using Safari on the iPhone but one thing that I don't like is not being able to open link in new tab. I found a way to do it. Just drag this Open in New Tab to your bookmark bar and sync your iPhone.

If you need to undo it then your out of luck, JK here Open in Same Tab
