I love my iPhone

[chayam]

My husband bought me an iPhone for my birthday. I had thought the things were way cool (understatement) and potentially useful, but since owning one I've found my iPhone never leaves my hand. I don't know how I got by without one before. It is especially great for new moms: I rarely have the time or opportunity to get to my computer but I

I wasn't ignoring you... I've had extremely little access to the web the past few weeks.

The iPhone is, to my understanding, gearing up to be usable for residents of other countries. As it is, I can use it when I travel around the globe the same as I could any other internationally compatible phone.

I don't find anything odd about my iPhone being usable only with AT&T. The phone-before-last I owned only worked with Nokia (for different reasons, though).

I can't tell you how much I've used my phone. I use it constantly--for directions, for looking up customer reviews when shopping, to activate a shopping card online when I'm in the parking lot of the business, to check the weather before I send the kids to school (or to look at radar when the family is stuck in a large corn maze and it looks like rain). I check my email for invitation details, take and share pictures of my new daughter wherever I am, find movie trailers on YouTube, and of course, listen to music, make phone calls, send texts...

It's a great phone. A very fine phone. I adore it.

Oh, oh no my dear. International phone usage requires the replacement of SIM chips. I guess unless you want to pay the heaviest roaming fees you've ever even thought of. And any phone that's locked into one carrier can't change the chips, so can't take advantage of local countries mobile phone services. Believe me, this is one of my heaviest requirements for a phone!

I have to admit, by the way, that last weekend (or was it the weekend before?) was the first time I had ever actually seen somebody use the GPS/map function on their phone. Ever. I guess to me and my wife, a phone is nothing but a phone, and all that other stuff gets in the way? I can honestly say I have never used a phone for anything other than 1. Calling people, or 2. Texting people (in China, where it's cheaper to text than to call).
