I just replaced my trusty rugged Blackberry 8700 with an O2 based Iphone. The acquisition and setup are almost painless and the integration of the contract setup with Itunes is silky smooth. I haven’t given up on RIM since I now use a Blackberry 8800 as my main email out of the office device.
I have to say that ergonomically and operationally the Iphone is very well laid out. However I’d say the weakest areas are the lack of written details regarding some of the phones features and the poor level of support offered by O2 regarding the unit.
Strongest point so far – Safari and browsing !!
However I’ll be trialling and comparing the unit in operation to the Blackberry 8800 and will see where the various strengths and weaknesses are.
