Having been stuck in a contract for some time with a Nokia N95, I’ve been struggling to be patient awaiting my chance to move on! So what conclusions have I reached after a week?

My iPhone is the 3GS 16Gb model which seemed a good compromise, as I wanted the better bits of the 3GS but the 32Gb required more upfront cost. I don’t see me having a problem with 16Gb – there’s plenty of space at the moment!

Mobile site live!

As the mobile web is one of the big things at the mo, I thought I’d play with a jolly nice plugin called the Wordpress Mobile Pack, and this site can now be viewed much better on your favourite mobile browser. So you can read the drivel on here wherever you might find yourself!

The plug in was dead simple to set up, whilst it has the flexibility to do far more than I have with it. One nice advantage is it enables the site admin to administer their site from their phone too – always useful.

I like it, I feel very mobile!!

Far too excited – iPhone on it’s way!

Vodafone have emailed to confirm it – my order has now gone through and I will one of the first Vodafone subscribers who with a bit of luck will recieve the iPhone next week… I am sad enough to have started a list of apps which will be installed when I get it. Woohooo!!

This week Google have announced their competitor, the Nexus One, so do I feel worried that I might be buying the last big thing? Not at all, everything I’ve read suggests the iPhone remains the leader for now, and I think it will be a while before anybody really challenges the user experience on the iPhone which is more what most of us are interested in rather than the total extent of it’s technical abilities.

Come on next week!
