Some iPhone Questions Answered
By Matt Margolis | July 1, 2007
I asked people for their thoughts on my other blog, and decided to answer them here.
How does it work? It works nice. Simply put. I had previously been using a Treo 650 that was more than two years old and that wasn’t performing well anymore. The iPhone was a refreshing improvement. Truth be told, I’ve yet to fully take advantage of all it has to offer. Though I have synced contacts and got email setup on it, It may take a couple weeks to be able to give a more detailed review.
A sealed battery? I am not familiar with that aspect. But I’ve had an iPod since summer 2004, and it still works. Apple products usually have a 3-year warranty, if I’m not mistaken, and I’ve personally seen people who had batteries die within two year get free iPod replacement.
Wary about the iPhone? I was a bit skeptical about the very first iPhone myself. But between my dying Treo 650 and an old iPod that doesn’t even have color, I was due for an upgrade.
$600? Who needs it? Who needs anything? I can watch movies on TV or even my laptop (a 17″ Powerbook G4) but I also travel quite a bit and found the opportunity to watch movies while waiting in an airport to be a good alternative to trying to read a book with tons of noisy distractions around.
Pretty big for a cell phone? it is thinner and lighter than my Treo 650. In fact, when I had it in my front pocket, no one noticed I had it.
So, now having been an owner of an iPhone for 24 hours, I still need more time for a proper review, but so far, I have to say it truly is worthy of the hype.

Apple will replace your iPod or iPhone battery but it’s expensive and takes a long time. The guys at ipodjuice.com have awesome replacement ipod batteries and will soon have a iPhone battery replacement service too.
