I finally bought an iPhone, I bought it two days after it’s launch in India. People had already started asking me about plan to change my last cell phone because it’d already been 6 months since I did that.
I am loving it, it does not have a few basic features, I am missing the copy-paste and the message forward, but it’s a marble, hardware and usability are simply awesome. Now when I have a Official Mac, I love the marriage of an iPhone and a MacBook Pro.
I spent 750 buck and bought a rubber cover but ended up not using it, I use a sticky screen guard though.
WiFi, GPS, EDGE, 3G (Not available in India) are faster and better then all my earlier cell phones, then best in this thing is the iPod.
I am lovin’ it.

That’s me in YEP 2006, thanks to Sujoy for this photograph. Everything in the tag list of this post was there :). Really an Awesome Party.

Linux powered Moto Ming (Motorola A1200) was launched in India two weeks back. It’s one of the latest Linux based Moto phones. Phone looks awesome and is too delicate to handle. After beeing in my hands for two weeks it has already got a few scratches :(. 2 MP camera, Smooth rubber coated body, translucent cover, bussiness card reader, touch screen and really great sound quality make this phone even more must to have. Ming in chinese means crystal clear and bright, this phone proves the meaning. J2ME applications are easily installable, and Yahoo! has promised to launch “Y! Go” for Motorola phones too.
