So really, it's your fault that I had to go out and buy one. :) Anyways, I love, love, love my new Pearl. I can read email and watch television shows!! I had a Katana before - huge upgrade.Jennifernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7794296.post-31041502606987131692008-02-03T15:16:00.000-05:002008-02-03T15:16:00.000-05:00Well.<BR/><BR/>'We' purchased an IPhone, yeah, yeah I know what I said about them but hey, it was tense time and I needed some bling for Mags to lift the mood. When we arrived home relieved of some $500 for the privilege of looking like a pair of techno tossers my first thought was eBay. The people's republic of Appledumb has always been a mystery to me when the same tech is available for less money, albeit in an under badged box of dullness without a half eaten piece of fruit for sympathy, I digress. <BR/><BR/>It gives you; a phone with great SMS. I can’t type with SMS half as fast as the touch screen.<BR/><BR/>1-0<BR/><BR/>I can connect to the web. My cell phone does that as well and has edge but having a screen about the size of George Bush's brain it is frustrating to use. The IPhone is nearly as quick and has the ability to zoom dynamically through pinching and dragging. Web and email is useable on the move.<BR/><BR/>2-0<BR/><BR/>The IPhone has google earth and decent SATNAV. SO does the cell again the screen menu on the Apple serves it better.<BR/><BR/>3-0<BR/><BR/>I can view all my media through WI-FI and listen to 8Gb of music through the ever interesting communist Itunes (I am really trying to dislike this device). If someone calls me whilst I am listening to music it fades it and brings the call in. Movies aren't an issue but really who is bothered with a small screen meh.<BR/><BR/>4-0<BR/><BR/><BR/>There you go. I will stop at 4-0, don’t want to be called an Applehead! Suffice to say I am watching your Caterham video on the pup right now. <BR/><BR/>As a piece of bling it is vulgar. I am sure people will look down on it as a non event but as an Engineer honestly I find it fascinating and well worthy of the price.<BR/><BR/>The future is fruit, half eaten and baked with berries.regplasmachttp://openid.aol.com/regplasmacnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7794296.post-39880130311058656752008-01-28T22:44:00.000-05:002008-01-28T22:44:00.000-05:00wow, you typed that whole post on your pearl? Glutton for punishment I see.<BR/><BR/>I love my Pearl too, and yes, you can add it to the very short list of things that I copy/steal from you!<BR/><BR/>I agree with you about the quality of the "phone". Both the speaker phone and the handset sound quality are excellent.jeffhttp://www.jeffchin.comnoreply@blogger.com
