Not seen a thread dedicated to the iPhone 3G so wondering peoples thoughts on it. Anyone getting one on Friday?
I was interested in the last one but was under contract with my N95 but I'm now out of contract and in good timing I'm going to get a 16GB Black iPhone 3G on Friday morning before work through 02, seemingly stores are opening up at 7.02am and further details re Pre-orders is announced tomorrow. CPW already have a waiting list going.
What I'm most interested in is the App Store. I think anything that Apple haven't done developers will fill the gaps with some compelling apps. Taking in to account Apple has to accept each app in to the store it's definitely an area of interest. I'm a little disappointed in the 16GB storage and the 2MP camera so in the camera's respect it's a definite step down from the N95.
I've currently got an iPod touch 16GB which I've had since December so for me I guess it's not going to me as much of a culture shock going to the touch screen keyboard than if I was just going straight from the N95. Having said that, I haven't enjoyed writing out long email messages on the Touch so it's something I've still got to get up to speed with in terms of having the familiarity of texting on a Nokia for example and translating that over to the iPhone.
I can't see me using the Touch as much as I have done as after the iPhone comes out it will essentially take its place. On the Touch i've used 14GB so have 2GB of space left. Will have to do a bit of a cull of music to make space for apps me thinks. Have synced up all my contacts through iSync already so I'm good to go when D-day arrives on Friday.
Am already a .mac member so I'm hoping all my details just get moved over to Mobile Me. If it works with my work calendar and email it will I'm sure prove to be absolutely invaluable and could make some serious in roads in the enterprise sector.
I've loved using the N95 for a year and a half now but it's on to a new experience with the iPhone and I'm sure I won't look back.
