My iPhone Confession; AT&T has more coming
Summary:
So after all the ranting and raving about not buying the iPhone, I bought one. Okay there I said it. I admit! I am an iPhone-y! A visit to the Apple store, and one glance at the shiny pretty thing, I was smitten. I bought the […]
While I agree that iChat would have been perfect to include, I disagree that YouTube is stupid. I never watch YT while sitting at my computer. I’ve watched it more in the less than 2 weeks I’ve had the iPhone than I’ve watched in since its inception. As I explain further in my 5-minute iPhone review.
Welcome to the club. Apple will do very very well with iPhone. In my company (granted it’s bunch of software engineers) we had 7 people picked up the phone already. It’s spreading….
So, how do you really like it? May be I should ask you in a month.
Om,
Admission is the first step to recovery! ;-)
Enjoy it, but maintain your objectivity which we all respect and appreciate.
So we got 14 iPhones at SmugMug. And basically my entire in-law family has them, too. Most used app? YouTube. I was surprised, too.
I liked that pix of yours..rajni ishtyle :P
I’m disappointed at you. I thought you of all people could hold out.
How’s your diet/weight loss going?
Ha! What happened, Om? Did you lose all self restraint once you entered the store? I have a similar problem every time I walk into an Apple store.
Two months ago I tried in vein to convince myself that I didn’t need a new Mac portable. I walked into my Apple local store…went over to the MacBook display. A salesperson came over to me and asked if I needed some help. As if by reflex I said…”Yes, I’d like to buy a MacBook”.
Moments like that frighten me. I never know what ELSE I may be capable of.
Like Elisa, I rarely watched any YouTube videos on my computer. But I’m findng I use it a lot more on my iPhone. I also love watching Apple movie trailers on it. Good time killer when I’m doing #2. :)

Hah! I knew you wouldn’t be able to last! What the hell, for you it’s a biz expense, right?
I am not a big YouTube fan myself (and will welcome iChat when it gets to the iPhone). However, I have found myself watching it more than ever just when I’m waiting for people. That’s if I’m not surfing. The thing is addictive because it’s actually for the first time made mobile web pleasurable. But I probably should back off the YouTube.
I think you’ll find some more things to wish for in addition to iChat, but I would expect some improvements not to far off via software update. At least that’s the promise.
We def don’t need another review (thank you), but I would be interested in your first week’s impressions, particularly compared to whatever you used before (can’t remember).
