iPhone Rave

Treated myself to an iPhone over the Christmas and decided to post a few comments on it. Well it is a wonderful gadget. The UI is pretty slick and the touch interface is very good. It is a good music player and a pretty good video player. I have even watched some movies on it. Calendar, email,  messages are all pretty slick and easier to use than on a regular phone, though one with a keyboard may or may not be better to use.

All in all it is a pretty good PDA and a pretty good phone. As a phone voice quality is generally pertty good though it looses connection and reports poorer connections than the Nokias I was using before I got an iPhone.
Battery life is fairly good and depends on what you are doing. Bluetooth chews up battery like nothing else and is my biggest source of complaint. I have trouble detecting other bluetooth devices and really dislike that I cannot have bluetooth enabled in a hidden mode. After that the working alot with data is the next biggest draw on battery. Normal usage, now I get perhaps 36 hours or so between recharges.

One thing that I have tried that really does not work is the voice recognition, it does not understand me at all and there does not appear to be anyway to train it. Not that I have tried to hard to find out. Overall I am pertty pleased, now if only iTunes would behave itself and not lock up every so often.
