yep i did it, some of my emails will now read “sent with iPhone… why did i wait so long”… and that is really true…

The best thing about the iPhone is the iPhone… so I wont say anything more on that… it just works… very well… ok enough…

A year ago when the iPhone launched in USA there were a few cracked versions floating around HK and these were the kind where someone had opened the back an sodered bits… nah I’ll wait… so i bought the Nokia E61i which is a DINOSAUR as compared to THE IPHONE as are all other phones I have seen recently… buy Apple stock it will be going back up! This is the product we have all been waiting for an all in one communications pod…
One of the reasons I wanted a ‘Smartphone’ was to have my email in my pocket… Important to our business… so the Nokia was ideal, but it required a 3G service package which when all was said and done, cost a bundle $$$…
The iPhone runs mostly on WiFi when you are at home or office and when out and about it runs on EDGE otherwise known in these here parts as GPRS (Group Packet Radio Signal?). Which PCCW does an unlimited plan for HK$128/month. So with that all said and done the iPhone is going to save me a bundle, we always like that …

EDGE is, somewhat slower than the WiFi, but WiFi is everywhere in HK… the iPhone can be set to constantly scan for open networks… and for those who must have youTube at the beach PCCW does an unlimited WiFi plan for $488/month… not bad as this is basically mobile broadband, much faster than 3G…

(Note: if you are thinking of buying one be aware they are still “Cracked” and if you update the software with iTunes, your iPhone will lock up)…
