In September, I said Apple don’t want my money, not yet!. But they finally got it.
No, I did not buy a new iPod touch, but I bought an 16 Gb iPhone 3GS. I got it last week, on Friday, and even if I have to pay a monthly fee for it, I appreciate it so far. Sometimes to get what you want, you need to get what you want. So that is what happened to me this time.
But, I must say, I do not find the iPhone 100% perfect. For example, the speakers are at the bottom of the iPhone. If I hand the iPhone with my right hand in landscape mode, my hand blocks the speakers, meaning I mute the sound at the same time. So that is one part of my new toy I do not appreciate so much. And if I use my left hand, the sound is send to my right, escaping my ears away.
So I have to push the volume up to hear correctly. I have to do some gymnastics to make sure I do not block the sound out of it, and hear well. So far, the solution is to use the right hand with a curve out of the speakers grid so that the sound is reflected toward me to hear correctly. Still the sound is not really stereo, but coming mostly to my right hear.
On the other side, I like the fact that the headphone jack is on top of the iPhone, instead of the bottom. My first iPod, an iPod photo 40 Gb, had the jack on top as well. When I bought my first generation iPod touch, I really hate the jack at the bottom. I still do after 2 years!
