The Moses* Phone aka the iPhone 3G

[please note I'm writing this while drinking a 40 oz of OE so if there are typos whatever]

So my contract with T-Mobile ended on August 16th and being the Apple Fan Boi (that's for you Professor) that I am, I waited in line at the Pentagon City Mall Apple Store to get mine. There is a roped off area outside the store where they have you wait in front of the always tempting Sony Style Store. I waited for about 35 minutes inline during which on of the Apple Store employees would check with people waiting inline to make sure they had their shit together, unsurprisingly many didn't. "I need to have a credit card?; I need to know my phone number?; This isn't the line for Sbarro?"

Anyway after 35 minutes of waiting I was invited in, I talked a very nice person who worked at there who got me setup with in 15 minutes, the only delay was my need to look up my T-Mobile (oh how I loved thee, but I'd be remiss to scorn you for your lack of 3G) account number, which I did using the iMac in front of us. I was impressed because the Apple Store employee knew enough to reset Safari after I got my info to ensure that people wouldn't be mucking around in my account later in the day. She told me, kiddingly, that I'd have to come back tomorrow to pick it to which I replied that's cool I'll just wait in the store. Any activation with the help of the Symbol magic handheld thing that they use had me out of there in 10 minutes and told me that it should be ready to get calls within the hour and a day at the most. It took about 20 minutes which I don't consider too bad considering that I switched providers.

So here is my break down:
The Good:
I only carry one nerd device in my pocket on the regular and the wifi option is nice because when I'm at home, the 18th Amendment or the Tune Inn I've got a fast connection.
The interface is mostly intuitive, I'll touch on this in the bad.
The screen is great.
The form factor is right.
The silent mode switch is genius, I've never seen this on a phone before, I didn't realize that it existed on the original one, though it took me a few minutes to figure out what that "button" did.
Everyone is writing apps for this mofo so all of the cool shit you want is there as a first class citizen.
If there is a battery life issue I haven't noticed it yet.
The correcting for fat fingering spelling is goddamn amazing.

The killer app though is Safari mobile, this is the first time that I've used a phone browser that didn't h-u-r-t to use. Is it perfect, hell no but like MC Hammer nothing else can touch this.

The Bad:
Syncing is slow, but is flawless
I want to use the home button to go back, not to go to the home screen.


The Ugly:
Really no MMS?

[update] I forgot to mention that I named it Blackberry

*Moses because I was raised Jewish and just like Elvis, Jesus don't mean shit to me.
