Well, it's not very Christmassy but Nick was transferring photos and contacts to her new handset and in the process sent me this photograph of Clementine playing in Nicki's wedding outfit. Shame about the item in the background but I love the expression on Clemmie's face, I think we should all feel like that 'round this time of year :-)

iphone-activation.jpg

OK, so I'm finishing the Orange gig which means new phone. I picked up an iPhone on Sunday and so far, the experience has been mixed...

the goodthe bad
Applenesslovely interface with apps that launch instantly and give great real-time feedback (Googlemaps is almost perfect but for one feature that sort of kills it)no charge in the battery means no out-of-box experience (if you've ever unpacked an imac you'll know what I mean)
OS-designno app-switcherno app-switcher
handfeelvirtual keyboard works with one-handed hand-and-thumb (contrary to what early handset-expert nay-sayers claimed when the device launched)really crummy soft ergonomics. I've almost dropped the thing twice. I could have used little rubber nipples on the back or etched grooves on the sides

I'll add to this as I get used to the device...
