My iPhone Rocks!

Ever since the iPhone was released, people have been heatedly debating its virtues (and shortcomings).  One of its obvious flaws is that it just doesn't do everything that less sophisticated (and less expensive) smart phones do right out of the box.  For example, why can't I capture video with my iPhone (without a hack app)?  Why can't I create (or at the very least) edit documents on my phone?  Why can't I get a decent internet connection (and why is the Edge network as slow as molasses moving uphill on a sunny day)?

But on the flip side, its benefits are too numerous to drop here, so I won't bore you with effusive iPhone praise.  Suffice to say, while its no crack--I mean Blackberry, and doesn't support push email, its still one of the hottest devices out.

Now my comments are well out of time, in terms of anyone really caring about my iPhone two cents, but my iPhone really does rock, and I'm going to be on the iPhone bandwagon until someone comes out with something markedly better.  Now I say all that having been a die-hard Treo whore.  When the Treo dropped, Handspring/Palm could do no wrong.  I was pimping Treos from the gate.  I had the 180.  Then I copped the 270.  From there it was the 370, then the 600, then the 650 (am I missing one?)  

Needless to say, I was whipped.  I loved everything you could do with the Treos, the syncing with my Entourage over the air, typing with the full qwerty keyboard or using the stylus (when I was in the mood).  I was a wiz with the camera and captured some priceless vids with it as well.  I was playing mp3s and generally living la vida loca before I answered the siren song of the iPhone.

Once I got my iPhone, I dumped my Treo like a bad habit.  I was smitten, and my former love never again invaded my thoughts.  I was surfing the internet like I was sitting in front of my G4 (albeit with a really small screen) and I loved that whole two-finger expand/contract thing.  I was watching movies on my iPhone (MOVIES!!!!)  I mean, c'mon, really?  Can you really be mad at the iPhone?  I was texting, emailing, reading documents and pdfs, and I totally couldn't see how I had survived without the iPhone in my life.

Whenever I see Treos today, I think, "perhaps one day you'll graduate to the big leagues, poor sap."  I know that Treo owners universally long to feel the cool, sleek weight of an iPhone in their palms.  I feel their eyes gently caressing my iPhone whenever I pull it out to answer a call, check an email or simply watch a video.  They don't want to look, but they must.  But hey, what can I say?  My iPhone rocks!
