Bought a new phone

I bought a new phone yesterday. Until then, I had still been using my Nokia 9300 with a Dutch subscription, but I finally decided it was time to get a phone in the US. And yeah, you guessed that right, it’s an iPhone. I was a little bit scared of what might be the waiting lines at first, as the media did an excellent job in hyping the hype. But after standing in line for about 50 minutes (I arrived at 5:40) I walked out with one. No problem.

It’s a very sweet toy. The screen is amazingly bright and sharp, and the touch screen works very well. And everything works very inituitive and fast. My expectations are by far exceeded - and they were high from the outset!

The key pad of my Nokia 9300 *does* work a bit faster; if you intend to use your PDA for word processing this might be a consideration for you. That said, the iPhone’s keypad works well enough for me (better than most phones I’ve tried), and I’m glad that the pad is out of the way when I don’t need it.

Here are two pictures comparing the Nokia 9300 and the iPhone.

Moved to WordPress

I moved my not-so-frequent blogging efforts to WordPress. I like the styles and the functionality, and hopefully this new start will have me blogging slightly more often. It'll be mostly about Wicket, but it might be of a more personal nature now and then. See you around!
