iPhone joy

So for Valentine's Day, I received a beautiful, beautiful iPhone. I'd been using a Blackberry and had been so worried that I wouldn't like the keypad as much (I am a verbal person and need to type), but it seems to adapt to my touch. So I can text away happily!

Of course, having a camera on the phone is wonderful - my Bberry didn't have one of those, either - and I've been snapping my kids like crazy. Being able to call my beloved for free is a big deal, as is unlimited texting (which was not an option in my former plan). And being able to answer my cell in the house - that is huge - my previous carrier didn't have a strong enough signal to work inside my apartment.

And the apps. Ooooooh, the apps! Do send me lists of your favorite apps - as it is, I've downloaded Facebook, TwitterFon, some public radio apps, Urban Spoon, a crossword puzzle app, and Stanza. (I was looking for a good pedometer but I couldn't find one.)

Yesterday I took it to the gym with me; on the elliptical I was listening to all my guilty pleasures while texting Dear Boyfriend. (I was accused of being a showoff.)

As for the ebook experience...I'm glad I have Stanza and a couple of books loaded up on the thing. But I do prefer the Kindle for reading sustained text. It's easier on my eyes, and I get more text per page.

More apps please!
