More iPhone Observations

Just a few more observations of my iPhone 3G.

Don’t ditch your camera. I was hoping to reduce the amount of gadgets I carry around using the built-in iPhone camera instead of a regular digital camera. Nope. While the iPhone camera is okay at best, it can’t beat a digital camera. The iPhone camera is low resolution (as expected), slow, and has no image stabilization. For close by, stationary subjects who are posing, the iPhone camera takes decent shots. Forget it for shots on the go.

Charge the battery all the time. Yeah, you can go without charging the phone every day, but you probably won’t have enough juice to last you the next day. If you typically surf the web on 3G and pass a lot of data, having a full battery is peace of mind.

Significant others get iPhone 2G hand-me-downs. The original iPhone still rocks, but I’ve now heard of a few examples where new iPhone 3Gs were bought and significant others inherited the replaced 2G models.
