re: The iPhone thread

So...

Despite my usual irrational dislike of all things "Apple", and despite still finding it amusing to criticise the rather bizarre lack of a decent camera / MMS / video recording / A2DP stereo Bluetooth / Bluetooth file transfer etc. in a mid-2008 smartphone, I'm definitely swaying towards getting an iPhone 3G in a couple of months when my current T-Mobile contract expires, to replace my N95.

'Cos, well, I don't actually really care about having a decent camera on a phone (I rarely ever use the one on my N95), don't ever use MMS, don't ever record video on my phone, don't ever transfer files over Bluetooth, and don't have a stereo Bluetooth headset.

Decent music & video playback is a must for my next phone, along with a decent web browser. Plus of course it helps if it's actually good as a phone too.

So, some questions for CF's iPhone 3G owners...

Is it really that good?

Is the UI really as awesome as it's claimed to be?

What's it actually like as a phone?

What's it like as a portable media player?

What's it like for web browsing etc.?

Are there any decent Apps yet?

Cheers


Also, one thing putting me off is the worry that a few months after I get one, Apple will then bring out a 3rd generation iPhone...

I have read rumours of a 32GB iPhone, & an iPhone Nano, but has anyone heard anything about any actual successor to the current iPhone?
