Wow, this thing is amazing!

It's a lot more than just a phone. I have been waiting a long time to get one, but it was worth the wait. :agree

Can you believe it, this is my 2nd ever cell phone! The previous SonyEricsson I had was my first cell phone. It has worked great for a long time, but it was starting to have problems getting connections sometimes.

I should be set for a while now.
 
Congrats Robert, seems like almost everyone on my job got one now! Except me of course ;)
 
You will love it! It is really a handheld computer tool with a phone in it in my mind. Get guitartoolkit, with a tuner, metronome etc.. It works well, and then you always have a metronome and tuner in your pocket. There are free or near free metronomes out there too that I like, like iClick. I don't know about a free tuner. The googlemap feature with GPS type function in it works great, and I use the facebook app a lot too. It goes without saying that I use the PIM features, calendar etc. fully, and it integrates with my law office calendar, PIM automatically. I am sure you will enjoy it!
 
The Peterson strobe tuner for $10 is worth every penny.

I bought the adapter too for another $12 bucks for the electrics.
 
Cool Robert, I just got a BBerry from work, I'm pretty amazed with it's capabilities as well.
 
I also am sure you'll love it. The only negative I've found with mine is the battery seems to drain quickly if I use my apps extensively. I guess that's to be expected, but if you can't use the apps much without draining you battery...then what good are they?

And what seems like the common problem with all Apple products is the battery life is about 30 months.

And most their batteries are so pricey, you feel compelled to just buy a new Apple product instead.
That's another reason they only offer short term extended warranties.
The battery just barely outlives the guarantee.
 
I love my iPhone. I realize that by owning it I'm only aidng Steve Jobs in his quest to conquer the world, but I still love it.
 
I love this thing. I had to get the Ocarina - it was just a dollar and it's a fun little thing! I am now officially a "flutist", so I can add that to my resume, besides "guitar player". :rollover

Steve Jobs for president. :cool:
