iPhone experiences
Here's a few random thoughts on the iPhone.
1) It's the perfect tool for journalists.
The iPhone can help you find event locations using GPS-enabled maps while a 99 cent download will turn it into a voice recorder for interviews. The iPhone's camera is sufficient for taking immediate on scene pictures to help writers remember how things looked and can be used to quickly take shots of documents in a pinch. Quick web access lets you check facts on the fly and its improved e-mail options make it easier to send story drafts and updates from the scene.
2) Battery life.
I managed to get 10 hours of use between charges from the iPhone. I did web surfing, e-mail, some video, used the Facebook app and used maps extensively. I only had about 25 hours of standby however. To get better battery life, I've turned down the screen brightness and turned off Wi-Fi until I need it.
3) Rogers voice and data plan confusion.
Rogers has made it far too confusing for customers and even for its sales reps. Customers are still getting inconsistent responses when they ask about keeping their existing voice plans (particularly if they are couples or family plans). They're also getting some downright misleading answers about the need for a data plan. (Some have reportedly been told that if they use Wi-Fi they'll be charged for it, which is untrue).
