I was on the phone with Eric Rice, when Enric teller called in. On the iPhone it was easy to conference them in together to have a three-way call. I mean it was ridiculously easy. I was so giddy that I had to run over and record the moment. When was the last time your cell phone did something so exciting that you had to shoot a video of it?

Wine in the fridge
Wine in the fridge - Originally uploaded on flickr by stevegarfield.
More on the iPhone:
1. I can receive email on my Dreamhost, Comcast and .Mac accounts, BUT can only send email with .Mac. I've read some posts about this. Any help in the comments would be appreciated. Thanks.
2. This photo was finally sent from my iPhone after I made .Mac my default email account.
3. If you want to take a photo and not look at the virtual photo shutter button, you can look at the button, see where to press it, press it, then aim the lens and when you release your finger the photo is taken. This is a good tip for people who like to take self-portraits.
4. I CAN NOT believe how LAME the ringtones are. Please. I would even BUY some better ringtones.
5. My really great headphones can't be used with the iPhone because the jack does not fit. Need adapter.
6. I can watch m4v videos on the web via WiFi. Awesome!

1st iPhone Beautiful Mistake
1st iPhone Beautiful Mistake - Originally uploaded on flickr by stevegarfield.
First impressions:
Setup was very easy. It's the Apple way of doing things. I transferred my Verizon phone # over to AT&T and the iPhone was activated within minutes. No problems like people had during the initial registrations.
Syncing the iPhone was flawless. The on screen help guided me through deciding what music, photo, email accounts and videos I wanted transferred to the iPhone. Everything worked as advertised.
Learning the iPhone interface was a pleasure. It's very attractive.
I set up desktop wallpaper, browsed the web sith Safari, and checked out the maps feature.
I successfully sent and email and took a photo. One thing I found interesting is that the shutter button for taking photos is a soft button, meaning there is no physical shutter button. That will take some getting used to.
I'm still trying to send a photo to flickr via email...
Update: Sending a photo to flickr worked with .Mac email account.
More info at Apple here: iPhone: Send mail not working.
Watch the video: Unboxing iPhone: Compating iPhone to Nokia N95. In the video I unbox the iPhone and compare the size of the iPhone to Nokia N95.

Boston notNow - More Inside Track - BostonHerald.com:
"John Wilpers is out as editor-in-chief of BostonNOW, the upstart freebie newspaper that launched last spring. "I'm sad to hear that John Wilpers is no longer Editor-in-Chief at BostonNOW. John contacted me early on, and I consulted with him on how to work with local bloggers. To me, John Wilpers was BostonNOW.
I'm looking forward to getting together with him for a coffee.
