Now I can post my gripes

An aside: u found a free blogger application for the iPhone. I can't tag posts or edit the tyeface but at least I can post and modify the appearance later.

To start, this will not be a very technical post instead a compokagion of some of my initial iPhone reactions. I am trying to publish where I stand on the battle for iPhone functionality and don't intend to uncover any new truths. Topics will be described byname, my awareness to them prior to purchase and my current feelings gowards the mater.

Why can I turn off autocorrect thanks to firmware 2.2 but I can't add my own shorthand? Rimm definitely has the victory here.

Though in all honesty they need a better battery first.

Louder ring, better vibrate

But if my phone is in my pocket on the other end if my short desk you might as well put up smoke signals.

New but I felt obligated to post my iPhone wishes now that I am a full user for a week
