Careless Carer: Apple for Idiots

I've always been a bit sniffy about Apple products. Apple for Idiots I always thought. But I have been won over by the simple charms of the iPhone. It looks gorgeous. Well the 3GS version does. I'm not so keen on the iPhone4. I had a very good friend who was playing with one and allowed me to handle it and play with it a while. I was hooked.

I've bought myself a 3GS 32GB in white through Carphone Warehouse who supplied a walk out working service. I took them up on this offer as I couldn't find any information on which way round the SIM card should be inserted in the small tray. The wanted to sell me the geek guys help to synchronise the phone with my PC. I accepted the telephone number (just in case) but refused to pay the insurance for this service. I needn't have worried it is all very easy and intuitive to set up.

I have several handy apps downloaded - not to mention a couple of addictive games. I've loaded 3 operas, numerous easy listening compilations and an audio book and there is barely a dent in it's capacious memory. I regularly text friends and am able to read/reply to all my emails via the phone. Not to mention the ability to post to Twitter. It's worth every penny I spent on it.

I'm posting them on to Orange and hope they will sort the little obscene devil out.; 30 October 2010 at 17:48

Sadly the SP is not for sale - he's far too useful as a hot water bottle.... :); 31 October 2010 at 17:38

Apple for Idiots?
One little Apple word:

UNIX

Forget the hype, feel the freedom...

Hmm?
