My wife and I have had our iPhone 3GS’s for a few months now. I must say that even though Stillwater STILL lacks 3G data coverage the phone has been amazing.
I upgraded from my beloved original, first generation, bought on day one, 8GB iPhone. My wife upgraded from a Sony Ericsson walkman phone that was four years old, still going strong too.
The best part about both of us having a iPhone now is that my wife doesn’t get jealous when I’m playing a game or tweeting, she has her own. We also can keep our calendars perfectly in sync. My wife loves setting alarms for up coming events and to-do’s. There is no way we will miss any alert when both of our phones go off and both of our notebooks.
One of the big factors that pushed us over the edge with the 3GS was video. The ability to take a picture or record a video an instantly be able to share it with each other or the world has been awesome. See we own a Nikon D40 which is great for stills but we did not own a true video camera. Now the iPhone’s video camera isn’t going to rival anything like the Flip Mino HD but I would say that any other cheap, non-HD cam is definitely up for a battle. Simply because the iPhone is always with us and the data connection. So we will have no excuse not to capture our little girls best and worst moments while growing up.
I did mention that we have no 3G coverage in Stillwater but the iPhone faster internal performance seems to make even loading large web pages faster than me previous edge (2G) only iPhone. It’s also been nice to use the GPS. Which can tag your photos and videos with location data. So now you’ll remember where you took that awesome shot.
I could just keep gushing and gushing over this but if you have any questions about your iPhone or thinking about getting one I am here for you.
