Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

Well I’ve now had my shiny new iPhone 3G for two days.
I have to say, I like it. I was a little worried the hype would overshadow what the gadget’s strengths are.
As a phone, especially paired with a blueant Z9i the call quality is excellent. I think the speaker phone is also quite good. [...]

Murphy’s Law and iPhone’s

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

Well finally after 12 odd days of patiently and not so patiently waiting for the iPhone 3G I ordered to ship, I awoke this morning to be greeted with a notification email saying that it has shipped. After much rejoicing and laps around the apartment I checked the FedEx tracking.
The good news is that it [...]
