Ken,
Thanks! Chris- lol.

my mini iPhone review:
so far after about 1/2 day of screwing around its got its plusses and minuses

big plusses are slick apple integration of functions

small plusses are att service no where nearly as bad as I feared. so far its worked everywhere as well as verizon?! :shock: And the bluetooth auto integration is better than my previous phone and call quality is better too (previous phone is a treo 700)

small minuses
the data service is not as fast as verizons (no surprise). the web looks gorgeous but since its not formatted for your small display you have to zoom in etc, when you are checking for baseball scores or simple things like that the treo method is better IMHO.

medium minuses
the widescreen movie mode requires you to hold the unit in a way where the volume up and down are inverted from what you would expcect. I am actually shocked that Jobs would miss this very basic fundamental ergonomic error. Its simply software to remap the buttons. These kinds of things really annoy me.

wifi is pesky- if you use a n wifi- forget it. also if your isp that you are running wifi has different rules about sending emails than your mail host then its really annoying as there is not a different set of rules you can store for wifi. Ive turned mine off as when Im home I have real computers and laptops but still- annoying. for browsing the internet, honestly the web browser with wifi was not as fast as I was expecting it to be. Its still better than the edge service, but the edge service is not, at least not here, horribly slow. the u tube is really slow.

the keyboard takes getting used to. getting there but I am a creature of habit. also the auto correction so far has not done right by me- it constantly suggests bizarre things and I wonder if theres something wrong with my unit. right about when Im about to call apple to ask the software will then suggest something in real english... go figure...

big minuses
for me the biggest minus -surprisingly- is the email software- it does not allow for mass deletes, mass marked as reads, mass anything and if you have several email accounts theres no way to browse them together, instead you have to jump to see them.

maybe I will find out a way to do these things but so far on the iPhone I am mostly positive. its a halluva effort for 1.0.

best regards,
Jerry
