Well kids, I pulled the trigger and bought what has now become my newest tech obsession… The iPhone. i have to say that i really love this device. For the most part it’s very intuitive. And as for all of the issues people were having with typing on the virtual keyboard, I am almost typing as quickly on it as I was on my Blackberry and I’ve only had it for two days. So, color me very happy. The device is elegant and beautiful. Better yet, it’s functional and smart. It learns from the words I type and begins to use the words that I frequently use as suggestions (replacing its default suggestions) when it sees me going in that direction. I’m pretty impressed.

The device has been responsive and worked straight out of the box, which leads me to the activation process. This was what I was fearing most, but it was so easy. Since I’m already an iTunes user with an Apple Music Store Account the process of synching it for activation was easy. It was literally plug and play. I also happen to be an ATT (formerly Cingular) customer. What this meant was that I didn’t even have to sign up for a new account. I simply went in, told it to replace the current phone on my account with the iPhone, it automatically added the iPhone data + 200 txt msg option, I dropped my Blackberry data plan and my current 200 txt msg option and then it was complete. The whole process took me less than 15 minutes and I did it from the comfort of my own home!! Also, I wasn’t forced to sign a new 2 year deal which I had been led to believe I would have to do by the AT&T CSR. So, all-in-all I was very pleased with the entire process.

Oh, and let us not forget, I am very happy to still have that additional $200 in my bank account as well…
