My Brother Got an iPhone
My brother picked up the new 3G iPhone yesterday, the 8 GB version. The thing is pretty slick, I kinda want one, considering I’ve been wanting a mp3 player AND a new phone. The new appstore is sweet. There are a bunch of free apps. He downloaded the AIM app, which lacked the ability to type with the keyboad in widescreen mode like safari does (from what I’ve seen, safari is the only app that does this), and a lightsaber app - basicly it uses the sensor in the iphone to detect motion and it replicates the sounds of a lightsaber! That app alone is worth the purchase in my opinion!
I find it kinda difficult to type with the iPhone, so if I think I’d like a physical keyboard if I decide to get one of these smartphones. Two phones that look promising are the Diamond Touch Pro or the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1. One thing I don’t like is lack of memory on both phones, but they are expandable though micoSD. Meh, I guess I’ll just have to wait and see how they turn out.
