It seems that even though I do the flick to scroll, the screen seems to bounce all over the place and if I hit a link accidentally, I've lost the whole piece that I was reading and I land someplace else. It gets annoying.<br /><br />But it also has great apps and other features that I like a lot (esp., the Kindle app), so for me it's a mixed bag.<br /><br />I will seriously look at Verizon's Droid once my contract is up in a couple of years - by then any bugs will be worked out and it will be even more competitively priced so I can wait.Karen Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13954405672195734097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10563856.post-8006686604347347862009-11-25T00:12:24.967-05:002009-11-25T00:12:24.967-05:00I was just talking about this with someone today. ...I was just talking about this with someone today. I'll admit, I think I've waited my whole life for an iPhone (I'm still waiting on the flying car, by the way, and personal jet packs....) and I flat out adore it. But that's because I was never a text message person, but an information 24/7 junkie. (Plus, who can argue with the Lightsaber app? How cool is that??) However, I can understand how it would be seriously frustrating for someone for extensive texting, especially someone who has been working extensively on non-touch keyboards.Gretchen Laskashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12641070971824412596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10563856.post-79812783389090839182009-11-20T16:42:31.495-05:002009-11-20T16:42:31.495-05:00I like some things about the iPhone, such as the a...I like some things about the iPhone, such as the apps - especially Kindle - but other things have frustrated me to no end. In fact, I've started feeling guilty about whining so much about them. <br /><br />What especially peeves me is the touch keyboard. I just can't get used to it. For somebody who wants to use a smartphone primarily for texting on the go (Twitter, answering email, and even light blogging) that is a serious drawback. Also, the battery life is legendarily inadequate.<br /><br />Still, more iPhone owners love it than hate it.<br /><br />I don't hate it at all. But I can't say I love it yet. Maybe with more time, I'll get used to the keyboard and other touchscreen features that I now find awkward.Karen Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13954405672195734097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10563856.post-24395674797321018392009-11-20T09:34:30.947-05:002009-11-20T09:34:30.947-05:00I'm surprised you haven't found the justif...I'm surprised you haven't found the justification yet for your iPhone. It was the very first smartPhone I ever bought and I loved it from the first day. I can't exactly describe what it's given me in terms of services, but I know it's given me a lot.NewsCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05049304894327723728noreply@blogger.com
