Apple iPhone from Apple Computer
I Like the iPhone
The Apple 3G iPhone 2.0 has quite a few upgrades to make it the ideal cell phone for a business user. Although the cost of the physical hardware has gone down to $199 you will have to pay some serious service charges for the media data package. It is 2.8 times faster then before and you can push your Outlook contacts and messages up to the phone. You can have unlimited data sent and received from the iPhone for $30 a month. They have an unlimited voice plan for only $40 a month which means for $80 a month you can have a ton of phone service calls and emails to work much more efficiently and an affordable price. For the business user this is definitely the most business user friendly phone on the market. I like it because I can be out and about in town and still be able to accomplish what I need to accomplish while running errands. The keyboard on the phone is a lot easier to use then a Blackberry device or Palm. I also tend to sweat on the my cell phone buttons when talking on the phone outside but the iPhone doesn’t have normal buttons so I will not have to worry about corroding the circuitry with my sweat. All and all I think the Apple iPhone is the way to go. The new Apple iPhone 2.0 will be released early July 2008. I will be one of the first to get one of these suckers.
Data Plan Complaints
Some people are complaining about the high price of their data plan but I really don’t think it is that expensive considering it works quite well compared to other phones and services. It is like carrying a mini computer around. I believe AT&T will have the best wireless internet service for atleast another 2 years so I don’t mind locking in for 2 years if I can get this phone for $200.
What’s Different?
By adding push e-mail and over-the-air synchronization of calendars and contact lists that supports the Microsoft Exchange Server that processes e-mail for most corporations, the iPhone now becomes- for the first time - a rival of Research In Motion’s BlackBerry, the dominant smartphone that is so popular with corporate types that it’s been dubbed “the CrackBerry.” The iPhone 2.0 upgrade, all software based and Internet delivered, will be free to all iPhone users in early July. But there will also be an entirely new iPhone model - the iPhone 3G - running new hardware on the AT&T 3G - or Third Generation - high-speed wireless data network that delivers near broadband speeds. It will be available at Apple and AT&T stores starting July 11. A major criticism of the first iPhone was that it was stuck on the much more stodgy EDGE network of AT&T, mostly because of hardware limitations. The iPhone 3G, said Jobs, operates at 2.8 times faster than the models that run on EDGE.
