iPhone … Day 1
Actually, it is like day 1.5 but since we didn’t get the phones set up until last night, I count it as 1 day. So far, I am still trying to get used to it. I guess it is ok, but I can’t get the iCloud to work right and synch my address book on my computer to my iPhone. I had to do it with a cord hooked up to iTunes.
A few other things I am really going to have to get used to that the iPhone doesn’t have, that my Blackberry did. I can’t have separate email alerts for my separate email boxes. For that matter, I was able to give each person their own email alert if I wanted to. I don’t see that functionality on the iPhone. Just different ringtones for each person. Not the same. I like to know who I am getting an email or text from without looking so I know if I have to look at it right away. Actually, they might be there, I may just not have found them yet. If anyone knows, let me know.
I also don’t like that I don’t have a blinking red light telling me I have a message of some sort. If I am on silent, or if I walk away from my phone and come back, I like to know I missed something without having to pick it up.
I am sure there are a few other things that I will have to get used to but so far I am doing ok.

I liked the iPhone after I got used to it, but the one thing I still like better on the Droid is that it has a back button. iPhone requires a double click to change back to the previous app and even then it isn’t the same functionality as a back button.

There are still a few things I am going to have to get used to. I am sure I will find plenty of things I am not used to and won’t like but will have to get used to.

Have you started ordering Siri around yet? That’s supposed to be the best part.

The wife tried some things yesterday when we were driving around. I haven’t really used it yet. It does seem pretty cool though and works with regular talking.
