I have a confession to make, I have gotten myself an iPhone two days ago, and funnily enough yesterday TeliaSonera announced that they through Netcom will sell iPhones in Norway.

iPhone Unboxed

This is not to be a long review, to many have already written one. It is the best mobilephone I have had so far. I bought it despite it’s lack of support of MMS (you can send pictures as e-mail) and the lack of video recording. That the iPhone doesn’t support wireless headsets (bluetooth) doesn’t bother me either. I prefer proper headsets for the best possible music experience. A bigger problem is that I cannot surf with a higher speed then 200 kbps (EDGE). There is no support for UMTS or HSDPA. But again, I don’t browse to much with the inbuilt Safari browser, but I already see that I will be using the e-mail client a lot more then I have used on my previous phones. The same goes with instant messaging (Fring). They don’t need better mobile Internet connection then EDGE.

Here in Oslo, most coffee bars have free wireless, so the lack of UMTS and HSDPA is some what compensated with the many free wireless access points we have available. And I am really looking forward to iPhone 2.0, as I then will be able to use our wireless solution (WPA Enterprise) at work.

I have an iPod Touch, so for me the user interface was not new, and it was therefor more fun to see my boss playing with the phone. If we find a working Lotus Notes synchronization solution for Windows, I guess his Windows Mobile telephone (Tytn 2) will be history. I will be using the Go Between synchronization application for MacOS X, and hope to be able to write a small little review about my experiences.
