Old One was Better

I had the original 4GB iPhone for over a year. I liked it and the only real bummer was that it was such a small amount of storage for all my podcasts, music and videos.

So this week, I bought the new 3G 16GB iPhone. Now I have plenty of storage! However, the newer device is disappointing.

Of course, the casing is not as good as the first one. But there are other issues. For example, the 3G doesn't kick-in very often. And when it does, I am underwhelmed. Also, my old iPhone paired well with my car stereo for hands free conversations. But the newer iPhone sounds like tin, it echoes and even feeds back while in the car. This never happened with the older version.

Also, the screen should blacken while near my ear and light back up when removed from my ear. Well, this newer iPhone does the opposite. It blackens the screen when I remove it from my ear and then it is a challenge trying to hang up. OK, so maybe I need to visit the Apple store. But, I just wish my older iPhone was a wee bit larger than 4GB so I could go back to that one.
