Proud iParents

Thursday, April 30, 2009

Owning an iPone has never been at the top of my must-have list. I always thought I’d rather put the money towards a pair of fancy new heels or a nice purse. Erik, on the other hand, has been coveting the new iPhone for a few months now. It definitely took him a while to catch the craze, but when he caught—he caught it good!

Rest assured, this purchase didn’t come without strong considerations and a lot of back and forths. But, we buckled. We broke. We took the plunge. And, I’m happy to report that we love it.:)

Karl Eagleman - The best thing about the iPhone is its versatility. …And it looks dead sexy.

The worst thing about the iPhone is AT&T which you guys don't have to worry about over there. By the way, how is Orange service? Orange 3G service?

By the way, if you need any advice on a case or screen protector, let me know.

Andrea - Your post sounds exactly like Karl and me when we decided to get iPhones. I would have rather spent the money on something like a new dress or shoes (or saved it for our new house), and he wouldn’t stop talking about the iPhone for months so I finally gave in. We both like ours a lot…glad to hear you’re enjoying it so far! :)

The Eaglewoman - yeah, it’s pretty cool…and, because erik is at his desk all day with a phone and i’m out and about without a phone (and our new place has no phone yet) i’m the one that keep it during the day. way cool and i’ve been very thankful for it on more than one occasion so far!

karl, we’d love to hear recommendations on cases…i bought one right away (i’m such a klutz and knew i’d break it one way or another) but erik really disliked it so now the iphone is naked…and it makes me nervous!

Gail - Ooh..I'm so jealous of your iPhone purchase! I want one too, but waiting 'til my Verizon contract runs up next year. And hoping that service improves with AT&T by then!

Have fun with it – there are so many apps, it's insane!

Karl Eagleman - I LOVE the iPhone naked! The industrial designer in me feels as though that’s the way it’s suppose to be enjoyed of course. The best combination BY FAR (although not the cheapest) is the Incase Slider and the Steinheil Anti-Fingerprint film. The case is low profile enough for you to still enjoy the shape and size of the phone, and the films keep the screen from getting any smudges, grease, or fingerprints. I might just post some pics on my blog now that I think of it.
