I rather think I lost my head on Thursday and splurged out on an iPhone. The nice man at the Telstra shop (and I imagine that’s a phrase one doesn’t hear often) kindly put my name on one of the new ones that were (and I quote) “out the back” and I dashed in after a huge day at work to pick it up at quarter to five yesterday. Apparently, I got the last one in the shop. This is what it looks like:

So far I have managed to
1. turn it on
2. change the ringtone and text message alert tone but only from the presets it came with.
3. work out that I had to actually import my sim card contacts after almost 24 hours of wondering where to find them.
4. send an email (even though I thought I was sending a text)
5. send and receive texts successfully (like you know…on purpose)
6. messily access the internet. with that one i definitely need more practice.
7. tweet.
8. import selected playlists from itunes and listen to some songs.
9. worry about scratching the screen
10. look unsuccessfully for a cover thingy. there seemed to none about the shops this morning unless i wanted tiger print. (the helpful man at telstra basically told me their range was crap and to look elsewhere).

As for whether it’s better than the previous model, I can’t say. But it is definitely more exciting than my samsung handset. More iphone adventures await me.
