I have in the past said that I had heard way to much hype about the iPhone. I guess that I may have felt that it was a phone that cost so much more than I would pay or that I could afford to pay for a cell phone. Well in many ways I still feel like that, but I am changing the way I see the iPhone and also the iPod Touch.

In the past month I have had a friend buy an iPhone for herself, this is the the first time she has had any thing that came from Apple. She asked me about the iPhone and what I thought about it, that made me give it a closer look. I try hard to not just let how I feel about something be the only info that is used in passing on info to someone when I am asked a question.

I was asked to go with my friend as she went to get the iPhone, so I did just that, off to the Apple store in Salt Lake City. We found them helpful to her needs and when we had all to she wanted to get and started the process of paying for it all, we ran into a snag. Now she was an At&t customer and her contract had come to an end, because of AT&T not being customer friendly she ended up on the phone in the store with them, after some time she got it all worked out. She now had her iPhone, she loves her phone and uses it as her only phone. Now I like to say as someone that does not have AT&T for my phone I am not sure I could change to them after seeing what she had to do to buy a new phone.

As I have helped her with her iPhone and how to do this and that on it, I found that I was no longer thinking that I would not want one. I would want one, but the things I like the most on her iPhone was not the phone or the 3G or the camera. It turns out that it was the part that is what the iPod Touch is, the Wifi, how contacts works with address book and the calendar work with iCal. That is what I thought was the best part of this. I found the touch interface much easier to get use to than it first appeared. The size and shape feels natural in the hand and as far as making phone calls, it natural and the call quality is better than other cell phones I have used in the past. Now keep in mind that I am still carrying a LG 9400 as my cell phone.
