Well this week Natalie got rid of her phone and put herself on my AT&T account. I have had my blackberry for quite a while now and thought I wanted to get the newer model, the bold, but instead got the iPhone 3Gs. This phone is insane! It's the most powerful phone on the market and rivals computers. I am now able to get rid of my land line with Vonage at home because while I'm at home I just connect my iPhone to my wireless router, same as Vonage. All calls have digital quality and are free, that's right, they don't use my minutes! Data as well, super fast and doesn't count on my data plan. I get all my music, pictures, and videos on my phone too. I still have my iPod classic 120GB to keep a full collection of my music but I also keep a fairly decent sized collection of music on my iPhone in case I dont have my iPod with me. The camera is pretty good on this phone and even does video. The internet is the best you'll find on any phone.
There are applications you can download to do almost anything. Some apps are free, and others cost money. I found apps for almost everything I need. The only one that hasn't come out yet is the am/fm transmitter. That one will allow me to pick a frequency and broadcast my iPhone to any radio nearby. I have heard that Apple is working on that app and it should be coming out soon.
There are thousands of games, gps apps, even apps to control your pc with your phone. So here are a few of the apps I have downloaded and tried so far, again, just a few, there are so many I could go on about this for a long time.
Who is Hot
One of my favorites. I got a picture of this one below (this phone allows you to take a picture of your screen at any time). It can go of which ever I choose, the phone number or the address of my contacts and tells me how far they are from me and what the temperature is at their location. I choose to use it by address, phone numbers gets weird with cell phones. Almost all of the weather apps can give me the temperature at my location going off my gps. So I don't have to do anything for it to find me and the temperature at the closest weather station.
The Weather Channel Max
Complete weather tool with radar and video forecast.
Hurricane
Hurricane tracking software. Has maps, blogs, satellite, past hurricane data, everything needed to keep up to date on hurricanes. A must have app for South Florida.
Weather Bug Elite
Similiar to Weather Channel with some minor differences.
MotionX GPS
Another one of my favorites. Pictures below. This one tracks my path and tells me current speed, top speed, average, etc. I can also take pics along the way and it saves their location by gps. Then I can share my tracks with everyone on facebook or via e-mail.
GPS Drive
Eliminates the need for a gps unit in my car.
Google Earth
Just like Google Earth on computer. If I tilt my phone it tilts the view from birds eye to more of a ground view.
Google Maps All I have to do is pull a name from my address book and if I have their address in my contacts it finds their house. Then I can go google street view and see their house from the street. Check out the picture of my parents house down below.
You Tube
So easy to view my online videos on my phone.
mBox Mail
For all my hotmail needs.
Flight Tracker
Self explanatory
Hey Where Are You
Allows me to send request to friends and find out where they are on a map. Got a picture of it below.
Much better, faster, and easier to use than blackberry's facebook app.
Myspace
Again, much better than blackberry's
eBuddy
Connects to a variety of chat programs.
Where I can look up a category and it shows me all the locations around me. Goes off my gps coordinates just like most the apps, I don't have to enter my address. On the search below I looked for a pharmacy around work.
Emer Radio
Allows me to listen to emergency radios (police and fire)
World Of Warcraft
Natalie makes fun of this game, but who is she to talk? She watches Harry Potter! I'm going to try to get her to play WOW with me.
iShoot & Pocket Tanks
Pick a weapon, trajectory, and power and shoot at others..
Phone Flicks
Control my Netflix queue from my phone.
Other Apps
Google Latitude, PhotoShop Mobile, Days Until, WeatherBug, Accuweather, WiFiFoFum(used this one to track down an unauthorized wifi router at work), Mover, iShoot, Planets, NASA, Airport Maps, Deer Hunter, Park Maps, Geared, Gaia GPS. You get the point....
