Don't Hate The iPhone: Pimp it!

There isnt really anything new for me to say other than what has already been siad about iPhone already.
Yet I would like to add my two bits to it.

I love my iPhone and there are two reasons for it.

1. It's a gift from my Hubby. He gave it to me when there was no event to celebrate or an occasion to remember, it was just a plain and simple gift. He wanted me to have an iPhone before he got one and that truly touched my heart. The gifting of an iPhone itself became an event on its own. and now its been three months since I got it.
( Mine is the 16 GB, first version of iPhone. Of course now my Hubby too owns an iPhone, the 3G version.)

2. The iPod facility. I was aching to have a decent iPod with videos. My earlier iPod was the black and white version, and it ran into some battery problem.


I find my iPhone Ubercool... iPhone has changed the way you view a mobile phone.
I cant get enuff of the cool apps available for iPhone. What worked its way to make iPhone popular are the 3rd party applications now available abundantly. And whats more these are free.

Like the SMS-D applicaton, which allows one to delete specific messages only. It also lets you forward the sms, which the standard sms app did not let you.

The other app is the CameraPro, which lets you do more with the camera.. like burst mode, Zoom function, light adjustments, etc which arent there in the regualr camera app. of the iPhone.

Loads of games are also avaliable for free from the iTunes store.. I have the Pool, card games, some puzzles and still lots more to go.

However there are still some things i miss in my iPhone which my previous Nokia N series phone had. Like the 'To-do-List" and calendar entries displayed on the main view of the phone. I cannot view my claendar entries as notes on my iPhone automatically.

The sms that come on my iPhone are not private, they get displayed on the main screen, which I find a bit irritating, coz I dont want my unattended sms to be displayed on the main screen avaliable for others to see. I wish there was no detailed preview of the sms.

Yes Phone is DAMN expensive and puts a hole thru the pocket, but the features and other appealing aspects of iPhone make it worthwhile.

In India, iPhone did get a lukewarm response, with only die-hard iPhone fans and enthusiasts going for it. In fact the Airtel outlets selling iPhones were not even well stocked on the first day of its launch (in Bangalore). That will be the topic of another blog firends.

For now I am enjoying my iPhone (even if its not 3G), and hope my lust for it will last longer than the previous three handsets I have owned before.
