I purchased my iPhone on July 9th, 2007, so I probably could qualify as an early adopter. After living with my iphone for six months I have these observations:
1) I use my iPhone now more than I did in the beginning - it is one of the most useful devices I have ever purchased.
2) I did not buy a case for my iPhone. I do keep it in my pocket and I am not all that careful (keys and coins in my pocket), yet the iPhone screen is not scratched and the case is in great shape. If I had the case I probably would not keep it in my pocket all the time and that would affect point 1. Potentially useful information if you are deciding whether to buy a case
3) Applications I use frequently - Google traffic, Safari (google search and wikipedia are right up there), weather - what is the current temperature?, I use wifi much more than phone EDGE and when there is just EDGE the speed is fine.
4) Typical day: wake-up start coffee, use to browse mail and web, NY Times headlines and Pittsburgh Post Gazette sports -- use all day -- it is in my pocket at night when reading or watching TV and either google search or wikipedia several times a night.
5) I use Notes much more than I ever used comparable things on my Palm Pilot.
6) I use the camera several times per week.
7) The latest software release is great - cannot wait for external apps.
8) Most annoying thing, many iPod accessories do not work with iPhone
A snapshot of my first six months. What do you use frequently on your iPhone?
Later!
