1 week test: Leaving the Curve for the iPhone

I'm going to try and use my iPhone instead of my Blackberry Curve for one week. Going cold turkey.

Starts now.

My friend Chris from Apple showed me how to sync Microsoft Entourage contacts and calendar with Apple iCal and AddressBook. So those things now easily sync to the iPhone inside of iTunes.

And I can now get my work email via imap onto my iPhone. It's not push email but I've set the iPhone to fetch my email every 15 minutes.

Why am I doing this?

Well the iPhone is simply the coolest consumer product that I've seen in years. As I mentioned on iDay, the screen is stunning, WiFi and the browser are killer and having the best ipod on the planet is fantastic. And it's way more fun than my trusty Blackberry.

This should be interesting

I hope it doesn't work out for you!!

Okay, not really, but I'm in the same situation. I had to really convince the at&t guy to sell me my Curve ("are you sure you don't want to wait a week for the iphone?") and while I love my blackberry, and argue that it is much more of a productivity tool than technology whiz-bang, I must say, those iphones sure have been taunting me!
