iPhone Obtained!

Finally did it - we switched back to AT&T. I'm very excited to report that I can now make calls while at home without any fear of dropping calls repeatedly during a 15 minute conversation. I've already made several and love not having to ask "Hello?... can you hear me... how about now?" I believe I will be equally pleased to be able to make and receive calls with ease while at the office. Sure, with Verizon, I was able to as well - as long as I went outside or made sure to stand in front of the window that is right in our busiest foot traffic area. (I can't fully describe my frustration as it pertains to this topic for you - not in the amount of time I have today anyway.)

I also went ahead and got the 16GB iPhone and I love it - even though not being able to send picture messages or perform copy/paste tasks is frustrating. There's more than enough upside to the iPhone to hold out hope for additions of these features within future iPhone OS releases (supposedly one in March and one in June already in the works). My wife got an iPhone as well; the 8GB. Now we need to accessorize our iPhones and the first step there will be a nice heavy duty protective case for mine because my phones enjoy many travels down south to concrete land during their days.

So far, the iPhone has been fast, responsive and the phone call quality excellent. Typing on the iPhone - one of the hottest issues that seems to garner a great deal of complaints or hesitations before purchasing - is indeed interesting and every time I do something with the keyboard I see quite a bit of improvement in my adaptation to it. I'll be doing a complete review of the iPhone (of course) and also some ongoing reviews as apps get installed and experiences happen, but so far I am nothing but pleased with the decision to go for the iPhone.

And now... time to get all of the phones on our family share account up and running before the Super Bowl.
