iPhone, 2 weeks later

Overall, the iPhone is great. I love the integrated maps, along with the location triangulation (though the interaction can be a bit wonky sometimes trying to get it to auto-fill "current location" in the address field). I also wish it had a simple "step through the details of this route" feature so I didn't have to zoom in and scroll around while driving.

I've gotten used to checking my email from anywhere, though I've thus far resisted actually sending or replying to mail. Text entry on the iPhone is merely adequate.

The web browser is pretty nice, and the seamless transition between WiFi and Edge networks make it enjoyable to use. I don't have to think about connectivity at all. It's always available. Some is just faster than others.

I also have a longer commute these days (30-40 minutes each way) as we are temporarily crashing at another company while our new office space is renovated. The iTunes Podcast subscriptions are great. Really easy to set up and use. Though again there are some design details I'd like, such as fine control for scrubbing 1 hour audio files, especially the scenario of skip back 10 seconds.

Syncing my address book with Yahoo! is great, since that's my primary contact store these days. Though there are a bunch of contacts I really don't need in there cluttering things up a bit. Minor annoyance.

All in all, it's a great product. If the phone companies and Apple actually gets the price down to $200 with a  contract, There are very few reasons why anyone should consider any other phone out there. Nokia, Motorola and the rest of the handset manufacturers better get their act together and soon. The bar is pretty damn high now for cell phone design.
