 Nelson's

 Nelson's Weblog: tech / good / iphone-first-experience



 

I wasn't going to get an iPhone; I'm not a phone or Apple fetishist and it
seemed awfully expensive. But thanks to some friends I ended up with
one, and so far:  wow .

 
The out of the box experience is fantastic. Great packaging, the
battery was already charged, Apple even managed to get
AT&T/Cingular to do a good job on the signup workflow. I was up
and running in a few minutes.

 
And the phone UI is really impressive. I haven't felt the need for a
manual yet (good thing, there isn't one in the box). Phone calls,
email, web browsing, all easy to set up. The Internet options are good
enough I think I can leave a laptop at home on short trips.

 
Some things are awkward; I wish it had more native apps, I don't like
the Home button, ... But overall it's a very impressive product experience.
