I never actually posted about it, but I got an iPhone. I didn’t wait in line or anything crazy like that, but the Saturday after the launch I picked one up at the Cambridgeside Galleria.<\/p>\n
I’ve really liked it. The UI is very slick. The screen is gorgeous. Feature-wise, it’s been very nice to have phone, email, browsing, mapping, and my music with me at all times. Of course, it hasn’t been perfect. Sometimes data is a bit slow, I can’t type quite as fast as I’d like, stuff like that. But the good things far outweigh the bad. It’s been great.<\/p>\n
Saturday night, the phone suddenly stopped working. All it would do was tell me to connect to iTunes. I was traveling and didn’t have internet at the hotel. When I got back on Sunday, iTunes didn’t help. I’d start a restore on my phone and the restore would fail. I found a discussion<\/a> on the Apple boards that says activation was down, so I decided to wait. Monday I still couldn’t restore. I was getting near 2 days with an expensive paperweight, and I went to the Apple store. They tried the same things I did, and then gave me a new phone. I took it home, activated it, restored it, and I was back in action.<\/p>\n I didn’t expect my iPhone experience to be painless. It is too new of a product. Apple did the right thing, and I’m still a happy customer. I like my gadget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I never actually posted about it, but I got an iPhone.
