After one month using everyday an iPhone for personal and business, it’s time to summarize my opinion about the invention of the year. And I would like to do it grouping it in three main categories. What I like, I dislike and I can’t do. Here we go!

What I like

• Intuitive user interface
  Well, it is Apple! Do you expect something different?
• Multi-touch screen
  Zoom in a picture, Google Earth or a webpage and everything in your life will change.
• Screen sensitive
  There is not a real competitor in that matter. Finally a touch screen that really works to make calls.
• Movement sensors
  I have some problems in MobileSafari trying to portrait a landscape website, but in general it works
• Light sensors
  Very important functionality to save battery
• Mobile Safari
  Touch on a web page, Safari will detect the html tag you selected and zoom it in for you to the width of the screen. Great!
• iPod integration
  I have never had an iPod before, but it is not a surprise if I say that it is the coolest mobile multimedia player that world have ever seen before.
• Contacts and calendar could be synchronized in several PCs
  It is common to share your contacts between your work PC, home PC, laptop,…
• Widgets (stocks, weather, clock and YouTube)
  Apple again!
• Wow effect!
  This is one of my favorites! In a meeting, put your iPhone on the table, and everybody will focus on it.

What I can’t

• I can’t order my contacts by company
  Oh my god! It is incredible! If Apple wants iPhone to be used for business, this is a basic requirement!
• I can’t search in my contacts
  Well, you can, but installing a third-party application named “Search”
• I can’t copy and paste…
  but in a month I haven’t need it.
• I can’t disable load pictures in Mobile Safari
  Very interesting issue that it is supported in all mobile browsers I have ever seen… not included in Mobile Safari.
• I can’t delete synchronized content from the iPhone
  Only videos after playing them up to the end. What about songs and pictures?
• I can’t connect a bluetooth GPS and use it via Google Earth
  Think about it! It could be great! A really killer experience!
• I can’t install third party applications
  Really? ;-)
• I can’t watch all YouTube videos
  I don’t know why, but some videos fail.
• Connect through 3G or 3.5G
  Maybe on May
• Camera is not for video recording

What I really dislike

• Camera quality and camera software is awful
  You can not modify luminosity, contrast, zoom,…
• I don’t like at all not to be able to synchronize my iPhone songs, pictures and videos in several PCs
• I really dislike not to be able to listen (not copy) my iPhone songs in other PCs through iTunes (why?)
• Calculator is too basic
• Why I have to use an adapter to connect third party earphones
• Ring volume is too low

Finally, I would like to say that it has no sens to compare iPhone with other smartphones like HTC Touch or Nokia N95. Why? It is easy. The iPhone is not a phone, is not a mobile phone. It is a new kind of devices where nowadays only the iPhone is in it. Maybe a future Google Phone could be in this category.

In conclusion, iPhone is great! Test it! Touch it! Enjoy it!
