iPhone [yes, another iPhone post on the web]

iPhone 3G box I finally did it. I bought an iPhone1).

I'll spare you the details on the phone itself. If you haven't heard about it before then you lived under a rock for the last months. My peer group is fed up with iPhone news anyway ;-).

You may remember me looking for a new phone for several months and iPhone was always high on my list.

iPhone 3G box contents

I'm no Apple fanboy. I loathe Apple's walled garden strategy regarding 3rd party apps and the tight bond to iTunes. Still I couldn't find any other phone that would fit my wishes as good as the iPhone.

So I'm with the devil for next two years (the length of my contract) and hope for similar hardware with a more open OS then.

PS. Any recommendations for syncing iPhone contacts with Google contacts without desktop software would be welcome.

Et tu, Brute! Anyway, congratulations with your new phone, even if it starts with an "i". :-)

I got an iPhone a little while ago for the same reason.  I didn't really want to be another "iPhone guy" and I'm not a big Apple fan, but it's simply one of the best phones out there right now.

Lame! Down with iPhones!

I, for one, hate being tied to technology with what I carry. I use a standard cell phone and do things with text messages. When I want to use a "computer", mobile or not, I want to go sit down at a desk.

Does this mean there will soon be a DokuWiki iPhone theme? (hint hint)

As long as you jailbreak your phone, 'Terminal' from Cydia is very good.
