My iPhone 3G is on its way

Finally, after an almost 4 week wait (between working with my current provider and ordering the new phone), my new iPhone 3G is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. Last year when the first generation iPhone appeared on the scene, I spoke up and said that the iPhone was too expensive, too slow, and not expandable (lack of add-on applications).

Being a long time Palm user, then the Palm smartphone series user, I saw that the first iPhone, though compelling, lacked some features to justify its high price ($599 last year). I made the move this year because Apple and AT&T added the high speed 3G network, add-on application support, and reduced the price to $199 and $299.

Adding the omissions from the first generation to the new iPhone 3G made me decide to abandon my long time Palm relationship. I do so with some hesitation and a little fear, but also with eager anticipation as well. In the year since Apple released the iPhone, many web sites have cropped up that are optimized for use on the iPhone and now with 3rd party applications, the device becomes a true computing platform that made the Palm devices so successful.

I will report my trials and successes with the iPhone, but I need help from you too. If you are an iPhone user already, I would love to hear your tips and tricks on making the iPhone experience a positive one. Leave a comment below with any great iPhone apps, web sites, and/or tricks you have learned since you had yours.
