I am now in possession of an iPhone 4. Having been an O2 customer for more than 18 months now, I was due an upgrade to my 3G and the thought of the new handset was too appealing!

The iPhone 4 has received a lot of criticism, mainly from jealous Blackberry and HTC owners, who claim that if you hold the handset incorrectly, you are disconnected from your telephone call.

I have tried holding my handset in all the possible ways it can be held with a standard human hand and have to say, I have no idea how the signal can be lost. What on earth are people doing to cause it to drop the signal? Clenching it in their primitive fist like a caveman, until the internal antenna is physically crushed?

The people that can’t use an iPhone 4, are probably the same imbeciles incapable of working a computer keyboard and can only type with their fist, like this – fvggffcbggbbgbn   vggffgffdfggfty66uyuhyjuj bnbn hbhhghgg. Pretty stupid, don’t you think.

The iPhone 4 is a great handset and a fabulous upgrade. Just don’t get one if you talk in grunts, live in a cave or are married to a red haired woman called Wilma.

I’ve just realised – if you type ‘pc’ on an iPhone, the Apple manufactured dictionary thinks you meant to type ‘of’

Apparently the Personal Computer doesn’t exist in Apple’s world.

As much as I love my new iPhone, I am not too pleased with the latest software update – proof that it isn’t only Microsoft who can screw up.

The maps app, which I think is really great, has been changed. All distance is now in kilometres and there is no way to change it back to miles.

I think Apple are trying to force us all to go metric. Either that or the American programmers don’t think anybody else exists outside their country.

I have been playing around with my iPhone this weekend. There’s so much stuff on it – it is more like a mini PC than a mobile (or should that be mini MAC?)

The web browser is by far the best app on there, but I downloaded some pretty good ones from the App Store too. An Internet radio streaming tool, a cool program called Shazam, which identifies a piece of music being played, and a blogging tool, which I am using now.

I have been given a brand new mobile number, so am going through my old contacts list, trying to let everyone know. If you haven’t been told yet, you will receive a message in the next few days. If not, it means I either don’t know you, or that I do know you and I don’t want you knowing my new number! :o)

The iPhone can apparentely also send SMS messages and make telephone calls, although I’m don’t believe that personally.

… and about time too.

It was worth the wait. The iPhone is brilliant! The best invention since the iWheel.
