Not Lovin' my New iPhone

[HLAuburn]

Apparently I am the one person in the world who doesn't love their iPhone! I got one today, and while the apps are cool, I'm not real impressed with the web browsing. Everything is SO tiny, and I have a hard time clicking on things, even after zooming in. The applications are great and really convenient, but I really don't need any of them.

Maybe I'm having buyer's remorse, and I think I can return it within 30 days, but should I give it some time to warm up to?

You aren't alone, my mom hates hers too. I keep telling her she can give it to me...

But, I'm kind of in the same boat. I don't need one, but we just had a baby and the instant photo/video upload feature would be cool to have. I have been debating getting one for a few months.

Last year when I went with AT&T, I bought one of their Smart phones. I HATED it! I ended up taking it back and getting a normal phone. It was too big and clunky, the Qwerty keyboard isn't something I used very often. I found myself using the regular keys on the phone much easier. Too much on the phone that I would never use. I'd rather save a ton of money every month.

Friend of mine has one too. He loves the phone but hates the spotty AT&T coverage in our area.

I have the ipod touch and I really love the apps on it. However, I hate the keyboard. my phone is a BlackBerry Curve and I love that keyboard. I find it easier to browse the internet on my phone as well. If I could get all the cool apple apps on my Curve, I would have the perfect phone.

I've had my iPhone for 2 years--I HATED it at first. It was a Christmas present (surprise) from DH so I didn't have the heart to return it b/c he was so proud of himself. Now, I cannot live without it! I have gotten used to the keyboard and can fly through texting. Isn't for everyone, but there is a learning curve.

I was ambivalent about the iPhone but now I am hooked! It is so much more than a phone----iPod, camera, personal organizer, book reader, game device, GPS/maps, etc. I think once you realize how much this little contraption can do, you will be a fan.

Which phone did you get, a 3G or a 3GS? From my research there is a noted difference in the speed when on the internet with the 3GS. Also, speed will varify with the different ways you can be on the internet (wifi, 3G network or the regular network).

I just finally caved and got an iPhone two weeks ago and it has taken me some getting used to, but I find that when I am on the internet I have to turn the phone sideways. If I don't, the text is so small I can not read it with out zooming a lot. I also have found myself using my pinky finger to select things so I don't always need to zoom.

At this point the only thing I do not like about the internet is Safari and Apple does not support anything that requires a Flash plugin. There are a lot of websites that use this and it does take away from the experience and makes the information hard to find and get to.

One thing I do like is if I am putting in login and password info or fillng out a form, you can "tab" to the next field without needing to go back to the web page each time.
