Time For An Upgrade

You may remember this post from a long while back in which I mentioned finally getting an iPhone. Well, it's time for round 2 since I just picked up the most recent model, the iPhone 4. My old phone was great and I used it for everything, it was just a tad slow. For instance if I was driving down the road and saw something funny and wanted to try and take a quick picture, 8 times out of 10 I would miss the opportunity cause the phone couldn't launch the camera fast enough. Tagging songs I heard on the radio was also a bit hit or miss. 

As awesome as that phone was [and is] it was simply time to upgrade. So I called the local Apple store to check on what they had in stock, and sure enough they had the 32Gb model. So I stopped by on my way home from work and picked up the new one. My old contract hadn't yet expired, but I was well within the upgrade timeframe. Also I'm selling my old one for a pretty decent chunk of change, which will subsidize the price of the new one considerably. I thought about keeping it to use as an ipod touch since it'll still have wifi capability to surf the net, play games, movies, music, etc, but that's just one more thing laying around that I don't really need. So off it goes to it's new owner sometime this afternoon.

The new one is blazingly fast [especially compared to the 3g model] and the screen is really nice to look at. Now I'm just waiting on my free case from Apple. :) Here's a couple random pictures and screen shots, if you have the ability to upgrade, I highly recommend it. Enjoy.

Packaging: 3g on the left, 4 on the right.

Home screen shot, notice all the folders Apple now let's you create. [Perviously you had to jailbreak your phone to gain access to a feature like this.]

Here's what's in one of my 'games' folders. And yes, Angry Birds

is all it's cracked up to be. Best $0.99 I ever spent.
